Bloomberg 2008

New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, a self-made billionaire, has told friends more than once that his definition of good financial planning is making sure the check to the undertaker bounces when it's finally time to go.

So how does a billionaire spend all his money before he dies? In Bloomberg's case, he just might drop a cool half-billion on a long-shot bid to become the nation's first modern president from outside the two major political parties.

Bloomberg wants to do for this Clinton what Ross Perot did for the other one?

He won't do it. Especially if Rudy is the GOP guy.

This is being hyed by the liberals - their best chance to win - and yes -- a repeat of Perot electing Bill.

It worked once - try it again.

Now on the other hand, a far left guy like Nadar may run again - how nice that would be.

I hope you are correct about Bloomberg. We do not need someone splitting the anti-liberal vote.
