Members Of Bipartisan Organization
Push Bloomberg For President
Several members of a bipartisan organization have left their group to begin a new mission -- drafting Mayor Michael Bloomberg for a presidential run.
Organizers for Unity 08 say two key staffers have left the group to form a committee to encourage the mayor to enter the race as an independent candidate.
Bloomberg says he is not a candidate -- but is gathering data to gauge support for a run.
Unity 08 was formed to craft an alternative, bipartisan ticket through online voting. But the project has been suspended after the group failed to receive enough support and ran into fundraising restrictions.

Watch what happens when Bloomberg gets in the race!
I have never held a party affiliation with either major party (or any other party, for that matter). I support Michael Bloomberg for President because he will be the most effective executive.
In our competitive society, the most talented among us do not often pursue positions in government, they pursue fortune in the private sector. To get the best of what is available to us, I wish to see a seasoned executive manager from the private sector in the White House.
Here is my take— It is rare that you find a candidate that agrees with you on every single issue. But at the end of the day, the President is the executive manager of the world's most powerful enterprise, the US government. I believe most voter's underestimate the value of competence and management experience. What is most important to me is, do they have the competence and the experience to manage such an enterprise? Will they keep the economy strong? Will they make sound judgement in a crisis? Will they hire competent people, or just give valuable positions to unqualified individuals because they either have party connects or "owe" someone because of a campaign contribution?
This makes Bloomberg the right man at the right time.
His money buys him independence of a sort no other candidate can claim.
He doesn't look at decisions from an ideological point of view. As mayor of New York, he governs by results. If something works, it works, and it doesn't mater if it comes from the left or the right. If it doesn't work, get rid of it. It is his results driven business-like pragmatism that makes him a success.
He is the only candidate guaranteed to keep the economy strong.
When the economy is strong. When everyone has a job. People tend to be less concerned about the differences among us. When the economy is bad, and people are unemployed, everyone looks for someone to point the finger at, and politicians look for divisive wedge issues to distract their constituents from the real problems at hand.
The fact is, presidents rarely get to implement even a fraction of the so-called promises and policy positions they campaign on. A president's term in office is most largely shaped by events of the day. And a president's successes and failures in dealing with crisis that emerge define most president's term in office more so that any specific piece of legislation that gets passed on their clock.
