Something differnt--GOP on Boomberg
C-Span Chuck Todd and Group of both Democratic and Republican Consultants

Topic: Impact of the New Frontloading Schedule of Primaries.

When asked about the possibilty of Bloomberg enterring the race.

These Consultants do not believe he will enter the race.

However, the GOP Consultants say they have a very easy strategy.

First, disavow him. He is not a Republican, then go full bore
and paint him as a "Northeastern Liberal." Bloomberg will
not hurt us. Painted as Liberal, he hurts the Democrats.
He may pull democratic votes from the Hilary or Obama whichever
is running on the Democratic Side.

This particular consultants (Dems) believe this will be a long
hard fought campaign and the in the end HRC will be the nominee.
(because of all the rules and regulations, and the way delegates are
assigned.

This were two things you might enjoy. Check out C-SPan periodically.
They often repeat programs such as this.

1. I am making plans for this to be a traditional two party, two candidate race
And that's what I will do.

2. Anyone who spanks Bloomberg gets points with me.
How dare he attempt to subvert our primary process because he is so rich he doesn't know what to do with himself for the rest of his life?

He is clearly insufficiently taxed.

3. Yeah, well, he was a REPUKE before he became an independent...we can foist that upon them!
and the ONLY reason he became an independent is because no one wanted another repuke in NYC after ghoullani!

6. He was actually a democrat before becoming mayor. Hmmm...
A democrat before he became a repub, and a repub before he became an indy!

More flip-flops than romney!

4. Both parties are trying very hard to dissuade him, and dismiss his chances.
He must be a real threat.

5. The whole Northern Liberal thing could blow up in their faces
Considering that he was a Northern Republican first and how they currently have two Northern Republicans running for president.
