Bloomberg and the Republicans
You can detect a whiff of panic in David Frum's latest column:
Ross Perot had an issue, the deficit. John Anderson had a constituency, the traditional liberals abandoned by Jimmy Carter in 1979-80. Bloomberg will have neither.
Yeah, there's no parallel here at all is there? There's no fiscal problem in Washington unaddressed by both parties, is there? Traditional conservatives have not deserted Bush, have they? He's not regarded as Carter was, is he (his ratings are, in fact, lower)? And when a sane, secular candidate promises to tackle entitlement spending and climate change, no fiscal conservatives will warm to him, will they? Naah. Marc Ambinder thinks out loud about the potential impact of Bloomberg on both parties here.
