MICHAEL!

[Eraserhead]

Gravel/Huckabee

Bloomberg would be a serious force in this one though...possibly doing better than Gravel.

[Verily]

I'll be optimistic and say Bloomberg/Bloomberg, but Bloomberg/Huckabee is probably more likely.

[Know Your Rights!]

Huckabee/Huckabee. But I'd definitely give Bloomberg a look. Gravel's decent (probably the most comparable to Paul in the race, except crazy).

obviously impossible, but very strange coalitions at work here.

Gravel does very poorly, with libertarians and left-liberals uniting to give him about 10% of the vote.  he polls in the single digits among black voters

Bloomberg probably wins - he takes most of the Democratic base (including 80% of the black vote), a large percentage of the business class, and moderate Republicans / anti-Bush Republicans.

Huckabee plays well among populists and takes the mindless GOP base, of course.

----------

Bloomberg would be very smart to run on a very, very left-wing economic platform i.e. Johnson '64 or McGovern '72 to help his pitch with rural voters.

[AkSaber]

Huckabee/Huckabee.

[skybridge]

Pfff, you forgot the write-in option for Naso!

One Mike to rule them all

[MODU]

Wow... 10 people actually voted for Gravel.

[SPC]

Huckabee/Huckabee, by default.

[Lief 🗽]

Gravel is the most sane of the three.

[Eraserhead]

Huckabee/Huckabee, by default.

You would vote for a populist leaning guy over a libertarian leaning guy?

Why would Gravel do so bad with blacks and the Dem base? I can't see them voting for Bloomberg en masse. Is there something about Gravel that I'm missing?

I'd vote for Gravel but Huckabee would win.

his economic policy.  ie: FairTax

Other than his promotion of a FairTax, Gravel really isn't much different than Dennis Kucinich. Also, regardless of whether or not you support Gravel, I think we can all agree that he is insane.

Absolutely but that hardly means he would be a bad President.
