Vote Anti Incumbent
Anti incumbent voting issues in 2008 campaign.
Barack Obama is Anti Incumbent Candidate
It is clear now that Barark Obama is the anti incumbent candidate on the Democratic party side in this election. As evidence, most independents voted for him, women and minorities. He got quite a start winning Iowa and reportedly may do quite well in New Hampshire. Well shall see on Tuesday.
Ron Paul is the anti incumbent candidate on the Republican part side. He is shunned by the news media, TV and right wing radio. He has a grass roots support from intelligent people and a big following on the Internet. He speaks straightforward and is clearly not part of the Establishment.
There seems to be no third party independents anymore. I don’t even know who the Libertarian candidate is or was. Funny, I voted for the Libertarian candidate last presidential election, but do not even know the candidate for the 2008 election.
Could Michael Bloomberg be an anti incumbent candidate? Hardly. He could be an Independent Party candidate but Mr. Mayor, Mr. Owns Everything could hardly be anti incumbent.

As for the Libertarian party, I think they are holding out, in an attempt to draft Ron Paul.
Bloomberg is anti incumbent in so far as he is fighting the system. Why, just because someone is wealthy, can they no longer be anti incumbent? Seems almost bigoted.
Bloomberg hasn’t a dime of inherited money. He earned every penny he has. His father never made more than $11k a year in his life. Mike got his first degree in electrical engineering, and learned computer programming before going back to school to get his MBA at Harvard. Even to this day, he still rides the subway to work in the morning. And until the news-media made a big story out of it, he even kept his personal home phone number listed in the phone book (once the newspapers listed the number he had to change it and go unlisted, of course).
He’s an astoundingly down to earth guy. Being a jewish New York billionaire is a hard stereotype to overcome in the South, but while I may be a New Yorker by residence, I’m from Tennessee by birth, and I really think a lot of Southerners could appreciate his tell-it-like it is, no BS attitude. He calls it like he sees it, and doesn’t mince words. He’s really not a politician. He’s a businessman. He’s a maverick, for sure, and he’s certainly fighting the system. He’s fighting the system with his wallet. With nothing but sheer brainpower and ambition, he acquired enough wealth to stand up to both political parties. The guy is a force to be reckoned with.
