    Can Former Senators Boren and Nunn deliver Oklahoma and Georgia for Bloomberg?

    Sure they can, the day after pigs learn to fly. When Gore lost in 2000 I saw that the Democrat-trending states of West Virginia and Louisiana went for Bush, and realized the chance for a ticket with a nonChristian on it was, in this country, not yet.

    Why would Mike Bloomberg run if not to spite Giuliani, for whom he has a widely known contempt? The only benefactors besides a future President Romney or Huckabee from a Bloomberg third party run would be aspiring campaign workers and ad revenue hungry media outlets. I'll bet they are busy flattering Rich Mike every day now.

    Why doesn't he spare himself the expense and embarrassment and just contribute to Mr. 9/11 In Drag's primary opponents? Then he could hold a series of lunches with Rupert Murdoch, Joe Lieberman, Norman Podhoretz, Daniel Pipes and the Kristols and listen to them flatter him in person.
