Perot Strategist Says He Spoke With Mayor About Presidential BidBy Special to the Sun The campaign strategist who masterminded Texas billionaire Ross Perot's third-party presidential bid in 1992, Clay Mulford, discussed Mayor Bloomberg's national viability with him at a recent meeting, Mr. Mulford told Time magazine this week. 
"He wondered what I thought about whether or not he could do it and I think he can," Mr. Mulford said of their discussions. "But it's not a question about having financial resources. That's a necessary but not sufficient requirement. I told him that I thought there would be strong support for a third-party candidacy or independent candidacy. I thought that he was someone that could tap into that support very effectively in both social moderation and fiscal conservatism with an agenda of good government and doing what works instead of playing political games and fighting in the parties," he said.
