criteria is that a candidate must talk specific on issues, not the general pander talk, before he would endorse. From what the news reports said, he didn't hit specifics in his Economy speech, right?

Bloomberg has some good people working/appointed for/by him.

I'm not sure he's a VP type of guy. It would be nice to have some economic understanding if Obama gets in though. Bloomberg would also help his unity message, does have some homeland security experience/understanding, could bring in a demographic, is good on green issues. But Obama would still be lacking the FP experience against McCain.

Was a Republican (none / 0) (#20)

but he had buyers remorse as the brand wore thin.

Curiously though, if he had the governorship of NY in mind, that was probably a really bad idea unless he figured Rudy was after the job and perhaps he switches to Democrat to run against Rudy in 3 years.

Bloomberg is not the story however.

I think Spitzer screwed up any plans (none / 0) (#24)

from what I understood the in the air options were, Bloomberg was going to run for Gov against him (so they say). Cumo or Paterson was supposed to run for Hil's spot if she got in (so they say). Cumo could have also challenged for Gov if Spitzer went for DC(so they say). And there may be another name or 2 that I shoulda included.

lol!~ Honestly though, I wouldn't have objected to a Gov run by him. One thing I like about him is he runs on his own money and owes no one. Not everyone likes his management style, but he certainly thinks of it as more of a job for the city than someone who's owing favors right and left.
