wants power, and is satisfied with the millions so long as no other options are available.
But a lot of people have probably been kissing up to him since 9/11, and my guess is he's going for the White House.
Whether he gets there or not, I don't know.
Bloomberg is probably way too liberal for Republican primaries. He'd scare the hell out of the run-of-the-mill Allen or Frist voter, and he'd likely reduce the average Brownback voter to a slobbering, incoherent mess.
Well, ok -- Brownback voters are pretty much like that already. Still.
But it would be refreshing to hear Bloomberg, who is no slouch in debating, put the brain power to work in GOP primary debates. Against Frist, for instance, I think Bloomberg would APPALL GOP base voters, but he might well be effective enough to knock George Allen out of contention.
I see him as an interesting possible addition to the mix. Not all that lovable, granted. But interesting and well-funded.
I think your take on Giuliani should be the working model for any potential campaign or public posture he's in.
