A Small Straw Poll

This morning I spoke to the senior men’s club of the Hudson chapter of the Jewish Community Center in Tarrytown, a great bunch of people who always keep me on my toes.
They are never shy about expressing their opinions.
The topic dejour was New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s recent flirtation with a run for the presidency as an independent. At the end of my talk, I took a little poll of the audience.
I asked them who they would vote for out of the trio of New Yorkers—Republican Rudy Giuiliani, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Bloomberg—if it amazingly came to pass that they all made the 2008 ticket.
Nine of out 23 said they’d vote for Bloomberg.
That proves nothing, really. But it is better than a third of the total. Some of them chalked it up to my persuasive presentation, but I think they were just flattering me.
In any event, time will tell what will happend with Bloomberg. And there’s plenty of time left to go.
