The last thing that elf needs is to be haunted by Hillary Clinton. I say he allows Obama to woo him until the last minute.

@Rottenart: It's more like, the rest of the state hates the city, and the city heard something about there being a state with the same name as their city.

@NBAWRITER1: Barry doesn't need Bloomy to be his Cheney. That's what obamacheney.com is for.

@freshyill: I honestly had no idea how wide a gap there was between the Big Apple and all the rest of NY. There's some long standing disgust and hatred simmering up there. Plus, Syracuse is evidently a big shithole.

@jagorev: True, but both New York and Connecticut already had their primaries, and they're both reliably blue in November. An endorsement by Bloomberg would have helped Obama a lot in the New York primary.

I want to give Bloomberg some credit and say he's an admirable, pragmatic independent, but let's face facts, all the pragmatism in the world doesn't means shit in the upstate boonies when you're the mayor of the big city that steals their precious water and coddles the illegals.

@norbizness: does Jersey count as a state? I swear half the population spends half their time in Manhattan. Connecticut is pretty close to that also. Not sure about the rest.

@freshyill: Bloomberg actually has a lot of sway with the financial types in Westchester and Connecticut, and maybe, just maybe, a Bloomberg endorsement could sway some NY/CT establishment Democrats to switch to Obama.

I love our dapper Mayor. He has licenses to fly jet planes, helicopters, and during a blizzard he drove a snowplow. He exudes an air of Zeppo-like SPREZZATURA.

metropolitan — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:27:15 EDT

aside from the fact that he banned smoking in bars i have to say bloomberg is by far the best nyc mayor i have ever experienced (granted i had to live with 8 years of giuliani). i would vote for him for president.
oh, and there used to be rumors that he liked the cock.

He's not really a known quantity in approximately 98% of the states.

WarGames — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:14:49 EDT

He just wants attention and love. Maybe he should take a lesson from his fellow ny politician and get a hooker. That would get him plenty of attention and put him on the national stage ready to run for prez. It's kinda like when other politicians put out a book.

Bloomberg is out of his mind. Dem -> Rep -> Ind. No one's gonna pick him from the 2 major Parties. If he wants a go, he'll have to start a third Party with his dough.

@freshyill:
The media is Bloomberg's main constituency. He's the perfect candidate for technocrat-loving effete liberals. Blah.

My favorite bit of Bloomberg nonsense:
[matthewyglesias.theatlantic.com]

Yes, Bloomberg should start a second career as a traveling mayor-for-hire, helping out less fortunate cities like Detroit and Baltimore. Because that would go over well with black, urban electorates!

Not a superdelegate = not news.

McCain's going to get laughed out of four of the five boroughs in November, and that's the only place Bloomberg's got any sway.

FloraWay — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:00:47 EDT

The longer he holds out, the longer people talk about him. He sees what happens when someone endorses-- they get attention for about 2 days and then the media goes back to speculating when Gore and Edwards will endorse.

My own lame theory: The cable news gremlins (led by that little ewok Wolf Blitzer) are just setting this up so they can come back in a month and make another storyline out of "Sen. OBAMA, WHY ARE YOU REJECTING MR. BLOOMBERG FROM THE TICKET?"
