Independence Party Tour Update: MacKay Sees 'Fertile Ground' for Bloomberg if Economy Softens
“Certainly no one is hoping for a recession," said Frank MacKay, the chairman of the Independence Party of America when he called me just now from the road in Charlotte, North Carolina. "But, a recession I think would set up even a more fertile ground for a Bloomberg presidency.”
“That’s my own speculation," he added. "I can’t speak for him. I can’t speak for [Kevin] Sheekey."
MacKay’s busy schedule is taking him to Washington D.C. tomorrow, home to Long Island for his wife’s birthday Wednesday and back to New York City on Thursday.
