The Deacon loves to read the wee stories from all those experts who say no one wants Bloomberg to run. The people who do not what Mike to run? The people who exist solely in a 2 party world, who's livelihood and existence depend on partisan politics. "Well, I can't see him getting the 270 electoral votes to win it." Really? Why, did we disenfranchise everyone who does not vote a straight party ticket? Or, do you mean something like 2000? Either way, if he does get the 270, will you not be on TV anymore? That would be sad. "Well, even the people of NYC don't want Mike to be President." Oh, now that's different. A city that big, I'm sure it was tough to find a sample that said what you wanted to hear. Plus, I'm sure the thousands of other cities involved in the process all agree, right?
The two party system is not getting the job done. Maybe it's the fault of the current administration, or, more likely, the fact that the World is not as simple as this or that and nothing else. You can cling to it all you want, tell Mike you don't want him to run, but the curretn system is on its way out. The Silent Majority has been poked and prodded, is not happy, and it will effect change.

You're so right that the current system is obsolete and on it's way out. In fact, a new book has been written and will be out on Feb. 5th. It's called "Declaring Independence: The Beginning of the End of the Two-Party System" by Douglas Schoen.
