BREAKING - Bloomberg not running |
|
By SARA KUGLER Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) -- After two years of playing coy about his presidential ambitions, Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared in a newspaper editorial Wednesday that he will not run for president but might support the candidate who "takes an independent, nonpartisan approach." http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BLOOMBERG?SITE=VTBUR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

5. Im still leaning towards my first theory that it was Obama/Bloomberg ticket |
|
And thats what the discussion of Bloomberg running was. Mostly as a lifeline to the self financing he could bring to the ticket if he had to. Now I think he may be comfortable with where Obama is and that his direct involvement in the ticket is no longer needed.
I still think he might, but the next shocker in that circle is that it moves the possibility of a similarly shocking VP in Obama/Chuck Haegel

:sarcasm:
edit: Though, I have to admit it would have been nice to see a spolier for GOP/Independents going for McCain. Still, I have the utmost confidence that either of our candidates will wail on McCain in the GE - even with Nader's vanity plate candidacy playing spoiler.
