There’s been interest expressed in some circles in seeing Bloomberg make a centrist, third-party run for President in 2008.
The New York Times has reported that wishful thinking has been for naught. It sounds like Bloomberg has better things to spend his money on:
“I do not anticipate being a candidate this time or any other time,” he said on a visit to the Mexican capital.[.]
Bloomberg, who cannot run for mayor again because of term limits, has insisted he will sell his news and financial-information services company Bloomberg LP at the end of his term to focus on philanthropy.
While I think he would have made an extremely viable nonpartisan candidate, I’ll tip my hat for his recognition that there’s better things to spend one’s fortune on than the political circus.
