what's his platform? I heard that he said he might consider running as a Reform candidate. The national figures that Reform has floated before aren't anybody I'd vote for. Joseph Noonan jfn1 at msc.com

Haven't the slightest. All I know is he's a socialist. By the evidence of REDS and BULWORTH, he's somewhat more radical than social-democracy. His offer would be more credible if he had exerted some kind of political role -- other than attending Dem Party conventions -- prior to annointing himself as a presidential candidate.

Reform Party is a perfect hodge-podge of ideologies, from the centrist to the flippin' nuts (at both ends of the political spectrum). It's only distinction is that it is not the Dems or Repubs and can expect over $10 million in Federal matching funds for the next prez election.

More interesting is the three-way race shaping up in New York: Hillary versus Ghouliani versus Grandpa Al.
