New York Wins Either Way

Election 2008: And the Winner is… New York?

New York Magazine

This weekend’s epic Newsweek story about Mayor Bloomberg reveals how closely and specifically Hizzoner and his aides (Kevin Sheekey in particular) have been considering a presidential bid. Sheekey has thought about the amount of money it would cost ($1 billion), the strategic advantages Bloomberg would have (nominees from both parties are sure to have racked up high negatives by next year), and the timing that would make it perfect (after the March 5 primary, when both parties’ candidates would be finally set in stone). He even has thoughts of how to tackle the Electoral College in the case of a close race.
