New York City’s current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is going to mix it up and bloody the waters of both parties, becoming a third party candidate for President:
New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is prepared to spend an unprecedented $1 billion of his own $5.5 billion personal fortune for a third-party presidential campaign, personal friends of the mayor tell The Washington Times.
As if we needed any more confusion.

Just what we need, a spoiler with money…
You remember when Ross Perot ran?? All they said he did was take vote away from the Dems, I don’t know about that but it sounds good…
Problem is, Bloomberg associates himself with the GOP and claims a GOP affiliation, though he plans to run Third party — unannounced under WHAT “third” party, or whether he’ll make up his own. The waters muddied, I suspect at this point, shall be primarily those of the GOP.

We actually have 4 parties here…. 3 left, and one less left … it’s bloody disgusting that a conservative party can now swing left… hope that don’t happen there..
Everyone agrees he a RINO like Giuliani. Fact is, both of them got elected in NYC…one of the most liberal cities in the US. With both of them being fiscally conservative and socially liberal, polls be damned, I think both of them are likely to pick up a substantial amount of liberal votes rather than conservative. If that’s true, it can’t be a bad thing for anyone save Hilary and Obama.
He is a bigger Jackass than Perot was. He won’t gain much ground.
What a psycho!! Who in the hell would support him? I don’t see him spoiling much of anything.
It’s his money, BZ. I suppose he can waste it if he chooses. To bad he doesn’t donate it to a charitable cause instead of throwing it down the drain.
A third party may be needed in some places, but not that idiot’s.
