Does anyone actually get excited about this guy?

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.

. . . Publicly, the Democrat-turned-Republican professes no interest in the top job at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But the founder of the Bloomberg financial news empire has dropped enough hints and has had enough tantalizing discussions with potential supporters that people who observe the city’s politics for a living are convinced he is at least thinking about it.

Just what this campaign season was missing…a moderate!
