Joe Lieberman on Bloomberg, McCain


Joe Lieberman paid a visit to a John McCain phone bank at 35 Worth Street this morning, where I got a chance to ask him about Michael Bloomberg’s presidential prospects:

“I would say, having a measure of Mayor Mike, I feel he’ll only run if he feels he has a real chance to win," Lieberman said. "He’s not going to run just to make a symbolic race."

He went on, "And frankly, I think that there is so much similarity between Mike Bloomberg and John McCain, both being independent-minded, can-do public officials, that I think if Senator McCain gets the nomination, my own feeling would be that it is less likely that Mayor Bloomberg would run. But obviously, that’s his call, and whatever he does, I’ll respect it.”

Who cares what Li,l Joe thinks,he,s going to lose all his Dem. chairs when the Dems. have a huge majority in the House & Senate after the election. Joe can then retire & lobby for the Zionists in Israel only then he,ll be paid openly instead of under the table like he is now.
