WaPo Hypes Bloomberg Candidacy

Every few months, the third-party candidacy of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is touted and today the Washington Post revives it once again, using racial arsonist Al Sharpton to boost him up.

"He would be a very compelling candidate," said civil rights activist Al Sharpton, himself a once and potentially future presidential hopeful from the Big Apple, and a friend of the mayor's. Sharpton called Bloomberg "Ross Perot with a resume" and predicted that "if he operates as he's done in other parts of his life, he will put both feet in."

This is all simply feeding Bloomberg's ego and he has absolutely no chance at being President. Still, once the media realizes one of their leftwing darlings, being it Obama or The Pantsuit, is trailing in head-to-head polls come next spring or summer, look for them to relentlessly promote independent candidates in order to siphon away GOP votes.
