I was undecided on the candidates until last week. I chose Edwards.
Like many Johnny Ed supporters, I like Obama, but don't think he has the gutfire to make change. I think he has the drive to be president, and a very nice one he would make at that. But we don't need nice. We need someone who deliver actual change. Not just the appearance of change. (If only Dumbya had exacted the appearance of change on our world, how different things would be.)
Bloomberg is also a nice man. But his candidacy would simply be a tool to game Rudy McRomneby into the Oval Office.
I live in NYC. I've seen Bloomberg up close for a couple of years now. He seems like a very nice fellow and a very competent bureaucrat. But, as Glenn has quite clearly shown, he's a loyal Bushie. He would make a crappy president.
I've come up with name for these self-styled non-partisan warriors; spartisans. The "500", as it stands now. Willing to die for... what? For the democrats to capitulate once again? Please. Cover up your oily six-pack, Old Man, and go back to your Dewars.
If any one of these guys had any juice he'd run himself. But they don't have the juice. Not a drop. Collectively, they don't have enough juice to fill the tiny free juice glass that NYC diners serve with their eggs any style.
