Nader on Bloomberg
By
As third party mania continues to take my blog by storm, check out my friend Dave Weigel interviewing Ralph Nader about Michael Bloomberg:
From a Reason magazine perspective, it seems to me that a Bloomberg Administration is likely to be substantially more libertarian than either a Democratic or a Republican one would be. Bloomberg, however, is specifically identified with a brand of trivial nanny-stating -- indoor smoking ban, trans fat ban -- that seems to be to aggravate libertarians in a manner that's out of proportion to the actual significance of the policy issues.
