Bloomberg Prez Rumors Persist

HuffPo has had an article up since last night detailing some foreign policy cramming sessions that Nurse Bloomberg had been going through in New York.

To date, whenever whisperings of a Presidential run come up, his lack of foreign relations experience has been the noted weak spot. He's publicly denied having any intention of running for President in '08, but folks still seem to be hung up on a Bloomberg/Hagel ticket. Hagel's retiring from the Senate and has also denied a desire for the world's most desirable office, but what's the cost of saying no until you're ready to jump in.

To me, these guys running would be the cherry on top of an already sinful sundae we're enjoying in this year's contest.

Another New Yorker on the Ballot?


It's now possible to imagine a scenario where we have three New Yorkers, two of them having held the title of NYC Mayor, on the Presidential ballot in November 2008.

The Washington Post has a story today citing friends of the Mayor who say he has his eye on a third party candidacy and is waiting to see how the major parties line up.

The billionaire would be less constrained by funds than any of the other announced canidates.
