Tuesday brings us the news that Gerald Rafshoon and Doug Bailey, founders on Unity 08 have started something called DraftMichaelBloomberg.com<
According to Elizabeth Benjamin at the Daily Politicker –
Unlike some of the other efforts, one of which is already circulating petitions to get Bloomberg on the ballot in Virginia, Bailey and Rafshoon said they will not be running a ballot-access campaign. Instead, they will be raising money to focus on wooing the mayor and building public support with an ad campaign – both on-line and in print.
So let me try to explain what is happening.
Two political dinosaurs who have not been involved in a winning campaign in over 25 years start Unity 08. They raise $1.5 million and fail to recruit an independent to run for President and do nothing to actually get anybody on the ballot in any state.
The two now leave and start another group where they will attempt to raise money but once again do nothing to actually assist Bloomberg in getting on the ballot.
And this is to help a billionaire who does not want anybody to spend any money on his behalf.
Are there really suckers out there who are going to give this flim-flam artists money?
If so, I suggest they not open any e-mails from Nigerians.
