In an article in the NY Daily News, columnist Goodwin discusses the talk surrounding a possible bid for the Presidency by NYC Mayor, Michael Bloomberg (R)> In it Goodwin says that although Bloomberg “has ventured onto the national stage on gun control, immigration and stem-cell research, he is nobody's fool -- and he knows he doesn't stand a chance of winning the presidency.” … And they're both right; not only does Bloomberg not have the national exposure, he is no Rudy Giuliani.

On Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor last night, political pundit Dick Morris [you remember Dick... he was the advisor to Pres. Clinton who often talked to Bill while shacking up with one of his steady NY call-girls when in town]... well, Dick said that Al Gore is running for President again! Gore denies it now because he “doesn't want to be seen as running while he's putting out this movie. I guess he wants to check the temperature of his political exposure in a few weeks as the furor/excitement/criticism/box office money over the movie dies down. Anyway, Dick's point about Gore is that he really is now the un-Hillary [candidate] of the Democratic primary.” I think Dick thinks Gore has a chance. Unfortunately, he lost my unimaginable vote when he claimed to have invented the internet.

Hmmmmm, Tim Berners-Lee for President? Now that's a candidate I can get behind on!

As reported in the White House Bulletin:

All things Presidential: A front-page piece in today’s Washington Post on Sen. Hillary Clinton says she has “has fashioned a political persona that generates intense passions but defies easy characterization.” … An ABC News poll out this weekend shows 54% approving of Sen. Clinton nationally, but 42% disapproving, and 42% saying they would vote against her under all circumstances [ It seems that most NY'ers are in the 54% crowd. This blogger is NOT among them]. … Al Gore’s potential as a 2008 candidate continued to receive press coverage this weekend, including a New York Times piece saying he appears not to be interested [yeah right!]. In a separate NY Times article, columnist Frank Rich says Democrats interest in Gore “says more about the desperation of the Democrats than it does about him.” … In his Time column this week, Joe Klein argues that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama should run in 2008, while the Chicago Tribune reports that fellow Illinoisan Dick Durbin has been encouraging him to do so in private [Obama for President? He's barely out of Senatorial diapers. Several pieces of legislation he proposed have died a very silent and chilly death. Although he's a good orator, he's unfortunately a very inexperienced and isolated senator.]
