Bloomberg Expected to Discuss McCain Tomorrow

That Mayor Bloomberg! One moment, he's trying to stop the world from smoking. The next, he's talking about presidential candidates. ABC News' Political Radar reports Bloomberg will "talk up" Republican presidential contender John McCain when he addresses the Independence Party of Minnesota tomorrow. Apparently he will "praise McCain's record of bucking his own party while stopping short of making an endorsement." (Earlier this week, he also said McCain's free trade record was better than Barack Obama's.) Bloomberg enjoyed offering comments about the candidates without endorsing them--last month, he denounced the whisper campaign against Obama.

Actually McCain isn't a loser. His campaign may lose but he is a well respected lawmaker - to some. You can see the attraction. I wonder where they went on their first date? Hmmm..

Except he might if he thought he had a chance at the big seat in 4 years. On the other hand, attaching yourself to a campaign that is destined to lose doesn't seem like something Hizonner would do.
