bloomberg has bajillions of dollars. why would he want to be president? that has got to be the crappiest most stressful job EVER. only a moron would want to be president.
On the national scene, he would have a half-life of about 5 days. A know-it-all mayor of NYC with a socially liberal bent is not a product that sells well in many parts of the country. Plus, as DH said, his being Jewish further kills the deal.
There has not been a strong presidential candidate from the Northeast (from either party) in over 40 years. JFK was the last one, to be exact.
If Bloomberg were the Republican candidate I think there would be an Independent that runs to his right and gets 15%+, between them handing the election to the Dems.
The Post’s satire columnist Alexandra Petri had this to say about the new discovery:
I picture this bacteria as sort of a hipster. “Oh, you’re still using phosphorus?” it asks. “Yeah, I liked phosphorus during its blue period, but I’ve moved on to arsenic.” “Isn’t that lethal?” a regular earth bacteria asks, nervously. “It’s an acquired taste,” the arsenic bacteria responds.
Agree with etson. If Bloomberg runs as and Indy, he’ll be the reverse Ralph Nader of 2012, handing the election to the Dems.
That would be hilarious, denton, since I’m blind-as-a-bat!
I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. It totally rocks! I just wish it were FULL-TIME!

I think Bloomberg is a great mayor.

“I’m also working part-time at a job that requires actual focus!”
