The cynicism and contempt for democracy of this "unity" crowd is quite stunning when you think about it. Unable to field a suitably corporatist crowd, yet unwilling to do the hard work to actually earn the nomination in the normal way, they seek to bypass the whole tedious process by choosing a rich figurehead halfway through the game.
They've already convinced Shooter, which gives me hope that their little exercise will be laughed off the stage. They'd do well to remember some of Bloomberg's rather insensitive and sexist comments toward a pregnant employee, "Get rid of it," as I recall.
That'll go over as big in the Bible belt as his enormous wealth.
And is he manly and Aqua-Velva-y for Chris Matthews' admittedly uh, eclectic tastes? I think not.
Go ahead and run, Bloomberg. Make my day.
