Draft Bloomberg movement
The Draft Bloomberg movement was a political movement launched in 2007, in an effort to convince New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to run for president.[1]. The movement ended February 28, 2008 when Mayor Bloomberg formally announced that he had no plans to run for President.[2].
Support for the Movement
Support for the movement came primarily from independent voters unhappy with the choices the two major parties were offering. However, Dilbert creator Scott Adams[3] and entrepreneur Mark Cuban[4] were both supporters of the movement. Political consultants Doug Bailey and Gerald Rafshoon quit the Unity08 movement to work to draft Bloomberg[5]
