Mike Murphy: Hillary is Muskie, Bloomberg a Non-Starter

Ran into Mike Murphy, the Republican polical consultant and talking head, at the Radisson in Manchester this morning. "President Clinton? Never gonna happen," he said. "She loses here, but she keeps trying. She turns into Ed Muskie in a pantssuit. There's your money quote."
Last night, he said, he was at a dinner party with a bunch of New Yorkers who all thought the election would be about Giuliani and Bloomberg. "For a million dollars I'll save Bloomberg $999,999. He's a great guy but he'll lose. There aren't enough cheese-eating, Volvo-driving, wine-drinking guys for him to win.... When he can start a riot in a Wal-Mart parking lot, we'll talk. Alright, I gotta go!"
He's a paid Republican political consultant. Of course he will say Bloomberg doesn't have a chance. What's he going to say, "Sure, he can beat my client?"
Anyway, read what other more objective people are saying about a possible Bloomberg run.

Dude.....you got caught red handed today, didn't you? Mouthing one thing on camera but actually thinking, like the rest of us, that Palin is a lousy pick by McLame. If this is an example of his unvetted judgment, we don't want the old codger anywhere near the red button, or answering the phone at 3 a.m. or representing our country. He put politics & his political ego first before the common good. Country first.....my ass!
