    I'm on the same page with Zeke -- I was a Bradley guy in 2000, but he was gone by the time I had the chance to vote for him. And I think EStreetJoe has it right: If it was Bradley with the "D" next to his name in 2004 instead of Kerry, Shrub would be a distant memory.

    I agree with E-Joe also. It's really a shame that good canidates get weeded out to fast. Bradely has a good vision for America and I wish more would have listened.

    I was a Bradley guy in 2000 as well, but he was gone by the time my state held its primary in June.

    HH gets it.

    He wasn't as laid-back as Thompson . . . but he approached it.

    He didn't want to go to the wall for it, that's for certain.

    He wanted his ring kissed.

    Wasn't. Going. To. Happen.



    I'm not hostile towards him. He has his good points. Couple of things he did I REALLY didn't like, though, and glad I wasn't ever put to the choice w/him in a general election.

    If you could have matched up Bradley's vision for the country with Reagan's ability to deliver it you would have had a dynamic combination. The both do share that house on the hill view of america.

    I was a big fan of Bradley back in '90. There was talk that he would run for president in two years...he was getting written up in the national media and he was hanging out in Hollywood raising money from the big Democrats out there. Then he damn near got beat running for re-election which spooked him from running in 1992..
    It's a shame, because he's a very bright guy.

    If you read A Sense of Where You Are, you'll wonder how in hell this guy didn't become President.

    He wasn't the only one. Bradley, Cuomo and Jay Rockefeller all took a pass after seeing Poppy's 90% approval in the wake of Desert Storm. That left the door wide open for Clinton.

    So is Fred Thompson the Republican Bill Bradley, or is Bill Bradley the Democratic Fred Thompson?

    I say Bloomberg is the Independent Mitt Romney.

    Fred Thompson can't go to his left

    Bloomberg is a sane version of Ross Perot
