Bloomberg Should Run in '08.

The best thing that has happened to New York politics is a Mayor who doesn't owe anybody shit and can therefore say what he likes, and execute decisions without fear. I increasingly think that this might also be a great tactic for the nation as a whole. Quite apart from having tons of money, which may prove to be practical for propping up the budget, he also seems to be genuinely interested in the welfare of the people of New York, as his forays into education and housing have shown.

Even though he has the drawback of being a Republican, I think that Mayor Mike's tenure has been effective and that his personal and professional ethic will be more than welcome after the dead years under George W.

Speaking of whom: I do often wonder if the first George Bush truly, honestly believes that his son has been a good president?
