I do like Bloomberg. I like the fact that the only political position he aspires to is mayor of NY, and that he is doing it because he really wants to do what is best for the city, not what is best for him. I may not agree with everything he does, but it's nice to know that it is really not about politics.

He's definitely not a Republican, but given the ridiculousness to Democratic politics in NY, it was the only way he could get on the ballot, so that's what he did.
