Progressives Think Bloomberg Might Be Spoiler

June 19, 2007 RSS Feed Print

The villain of the 2000 presidential election, Ralph Nader, was greeted by boos and hisses this morning by Progressives at their annual conference in Washington D.C., as he introduced Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel.

The group still despises the man whose politics they may share but who they believe singlehandedly put George Bush in office.  Nader's presence prompted discussion afterward by some attendees about how a third party candidate this time around could create another disaster for Democrats in 2008. The focus of their speculation? New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
