Ed, I’d like to see New York Mayor Bloomberg run as an Independent for president of the United States. He would make the Republicans and Democrats —who are in bed with big business — deal with the issues. What do you think? And do you think Al Gore should run as Green Party candidate? If he did, he could still fight global warming. Please give me your opinion. I hope other BackTalk readers will call in and respond to your answers.

Elec Tore It

Your ideas are hollow. Bloomberg IS big business, so do you really think he’ll be any different? And the idea of Al Gore running for anything but a professional eating contest is beyond anything most Americans could handle.
