President Bloomberg?

I am with Fred Wilson on this one, I'd love to see Michael Bloomberg run for President. He could self-finance the entire campaign and then run the country in terms of what is the right thing to do for the country, not who he owes this or that for campaign financing. I also read a recent article on him in Time Magazine and they talked a lot about this exact reason being responsible for his success as mayor of New York City. He's hired the best possible people for the job, with no ties to political maneuvering. I think he can bring some strong business sense to a Federal position that is in need of some straight-shooting management.

I also like the fact that he has registered as an independent - I am about to go do that myself. I don't know who crazier, the far right or the far left.

In any regard, it will be very interesting to see if he makes a move. The bigger question is, can he win?

love the idea that he could self-finance. and i absolutely LOVE that he is on a gun-control crusade (to tighten the laws). it's about time someone had the guts to take that on for real.
