Frank MacKay, leader of the Independence Party, is pushing ahead with designs on a national third party in preparation for the prospect of Mayor Michael Bloomberg running for president, according to Liz at the News.
UPDATE: The fact that Rick Brand made this point in his column on June 24 here slipped the mind of some of us who thought it sounded kinda familiar. D-uh. But that's what political drumrolls are about. The Benjamin hook is that the organization's first organizational meeting is set for Sunday in Westchester.
Unsurprising, but interesting. He's previously praised Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg's deputy for political promotion, as a political genius, so he must feel he's in good stead. We're sure you'll be hearing more about all this...

Creepy little Frank MacKay who speaks of " chasms " is again trying to muscle into Bloomberg's wallet. As far as mFrank is concerned all endorsements are aabout wallets. How much do his wife and her phoney computer program and he glean from his role as Chairman, how many of his personal expenses are picked up with party funds and does he claim them on his income taxes ??? Big Leroy in the bighouse is going to love his tiny behind...won't be long now.
