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.




anybody think there could be some validity to the idea of mccain tapping mayor mike for vp?
well he's almost senile enough to do it!
sorry i forgot my other two cents - nanny mike would never do it, his ego would never let him play second fiddle to anyone.
Mother Bloomberg is amazing. He plays both sides like any good NYC politician.
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.
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..
