Seen on the AP wire:
Michael Bloomberg may soon begin a massive operation to get on the ballot in up to 15 states even though the billionaire mayor may not decide until May whether to run for president, according to associates.
Despite John McCain’s widening lead in the Republican race, an imminent ballot deadline for third-parties in Texas and a recently expanded denial of interest from Bloomberg himself, these associates say the mayor and his operatives are actively laying necessary groundwork for an independent campaign and are in no hurry to decide whether or not to run.
I would comment on the silliness of just how early some of the ballot access deadlines are in this country…but that comment would likely just be lost in the flood of noise surrounding Super Duper Fat Tuesday, yes?
