Bloomberg Is Postioning For A Presidential Run
Michael Bloomberg is seeking a repeal of the NYC term limits law in order to run for a third term as the Mayor of NYC in 2009.
The repeal of the term limits law would not only repeal it for the Mayor’s post, but dozens of other elected posts.
It begs the question: why would he (selfishly) do so something so drastic?
The only answer I can come up with: he wants to stay relevant and top-of-mind as he gears up for a 2012 Presidential run. And leaving office in 2009, it is just too much time off the stage.
Fearless prediction: Bloomberg is the farthest left of any elected Republican (he is currently an Independent– but is smart enough to pick a major party for a bigger run). By comparison, He makes McCain look like Jesse Helms. If he decides to run, he will do so as a Democrat (he is a former Democrat).
And the Democrat bench is almost as weak as the Republican bench, so they will greet the well-heeled, well-spoken billionaire with open arms.
