So....what does everyone think about the Obama/Bloomberg

[Thickasabrick]

talk. Would you still vote for Obama if Bloomberg were VP?

[Nitrogenica]

1. I think that's a pretty strong ticket.

It's been rumored for quite a while now.

[Thickasabrick]

8. I agree - that ticket would do so much to "unite". Bloomberg appeals

to many independents and it's not like he never was a democrat. That ticket would be unstoppable.

[Olney Blue]

2. I will vote for the Democratic ticket. So yes, I would.

[Fed_Up_Grammy]

3. No !!!!!

[Thickasabrick]

4. Care to explain or are you just a Clinton supporter who's going

to vote for McCain?

[Fed_Up_Grammy]

7. I just can't stand Bloomberg-----I'd stay home and not vote at all.

Juvenile,huh ?

[Thickasabrick]

12. No...there is a reason you don't like Bloomberg and it must be a

pretty good reason for you to take such a strong stand. I admit, I don't know that much about him other than his financial expertise - which is very attractive right now to me - we need someone with financial "smarts". I didn't mean to sound like I was challenging you.

:hi:

[thoughtcrime1984]

5. I would, but I don't care for Bloomberg.

I want a real Democrat, one that would continue to a "T" Obama's policies should something terrible befall him.

[TahitiNut]

6. Who's on the Green Party ticket again?

:dunce: :silly:

[Frumious B]

9. What does Bloomberg bring to the table?

What states and what voters would Bloomberg deliver that Obama wouldn't get otherwise? How does he make the ticket stronger against McCain?

[Thickasabrick]

16. I think he would bring alot of independents and republicans who

wanted him to run as a republican. Many people admire his financial expertise.

[Tatiana]

10. NO WAY. n/t

[blogslut]

11. I really doubt Obama would choose Bloomberg as a VP

n/t

[dsc]

13. I would love to see the pretzel like twists of those

who complain about Monica Lewinski supporing a man who is well known for sexual harassment as a VP.

[Thickasabrick]

14. He is known for sexual harassment? Did not know that. n/t

[AmericanUnity]

15. I like it

[stillcool]

17. I don't like the idea...

I don't see any advantage that Bloomberg would bring to the ticket..except money. I like Joe Biden.

[OzarkDem]

18. Great DLC or GOP ticket

if that's what you're looking for.

[Smarmie Doofus]

19. Bloomberg is pro-war, anti-union and anti-constitution.

He just gave the NYS GOP 500,000 $ to keep control of the NYS Senate.

Obama won't pick him for those reasons... though Bloomberg Inc. may try to buy some influence.

[Mezzo]

20. did the endorsement happen? I would not vote for that ticket. either. nt

[RoadRage]

21. I'd like to see him as Sec. of Treasury..

or something along the fiscal lines where he can make an impact on getting us out of this enormous debt that Georgie has dug us into. He seems to be good at fiscal matters, so that would make the most sense IMO.

He doesn't really bring to the table what Obama needs in terms of other experiences. I still like an Obama/Edwards or Obama/Richardson ticket much much better.

[David Zephyr]

22. This Obama supporter hates the idea.

It won't happen.

Bloomberg standing on the stage in front of thousands of die-hard Democrats in Denver?

Won't happen.

[undeterred]

23. No we can't.

[Jersey Devil]

24. Bloomberg could be Sec Treas or Ch Fed Reserve but not veep

Aside from partisan considerations he has no foreign policy experience.

The veep will have to go to someone with strong foreign policy credentials like Richardson (my choice), Webb, etc.

[FogerRox]

25. Hello, Mike is an ass hat.....

You dont pick Mike BLoomberg as VP in the most important election since 1932, get your head out of your arse.

[bevoette]

26. i'm already voting for O, but as an independent, I would like that ticket

plus, it would certainly help his appeal w/ those worried about his muslim-ity, lol

of course, the neo-nazi base would probably have some issues with it :P

[XemaSab]

27. meh

n/t

[BringBigDogBack]

28. We can do better. Richardson, Dodd, Biden, Boxer, Edwards, etc.

[walldude]

29. Obama would have to do something really stupid to lose my support

Like... make Bloomberg his VP choice.

Where is this coming from, is Obama talking about this for real?

[fedupinBushcountry]

30. Quit falling for

media BS. "It's the media, stupid" They are like fundalmentalist, they want you to stop thinking for yourself.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

31. Not going to happen.

That is the extent of consideration I will give.

[Catherine Vincent]

32. I hope not.

If he wins the nomination, he should go with a Democrat.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. Who?

[Pushed To The Left]

34. I would for an Obama/ham sandwich ticket! n/t

[libnnc]

35. no no no no nooooooooooo

a thousand times no


OBAMA/BOXER :thumbsup:

[CK_John]

36. IMO, the deal has already been made. as I have said many times, but noooo that couldn't ever happen.

[Johnny__Motown]

37. Yes, but I would rather both he and McCain agreed to public funding so we could get that passed in

Obama's first term


Bloomberg's largest asset is his financial assets. Obama does not really need to sell the VP spot to finance his bid.

[CK_John]

39. IMO, McCain will be sent to the bullpen, and J Roberts will be on their ticket. n/t

[TexanDem]

38. nope, don't like it.
