Can anyone explain the rationale for a Bloomberg candidacy? What does he offer that's different? He has a big pile of the cash, though, so the press will encourage him because then it will be their billion dollars. There is an element of Mike Lupica Syndrome at work here as well. The Rangers win the Stanley Cup so we will subject an uninterested nation to endless hockey talk (1995 or so) and now New York has a likable mayor so certainly he should be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. I'd be more likely to vote for the mayor of Tipton, Indiana. People say that Rudy was nothing before 9/11. Bloomberg wasn't there for 9/11 so where does that leave him?
