Thought I was done with Michael Bloomberg.
Not so fast, tiger.
This is all good sport in New York City, where, after all, Bloomberg is the two-term mayor, in a term-limit district. What’s a billionaire to do? Next?

mm304: Mike, now I’m done!
March 3, 2008MUDGE’s Musings
Independent nonpartisanship has a flexible definition for NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
A frequent subject at this nanocorner of the ‘Sphere©, we’ve been intrigued for most of a year with his potential independent candidacy for U.S. president.
See below for a list of links.
Bloomberg left the Republican party last year, many believed in preparation for a run at the presidency as an independent.
Apparently, though, the Republican party in New York State is still close to his heart, or his wallet.

Last post, Michael Bloomberg told us that no, he is not a candidate for the presidency in 2008.
Today, some interesting commentary.
Declining to Enter Field, Mayor Eyes Sideline Role
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and DIANE CARDWELL | Published: February 29, 2008
For more than two years, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg had the ultimate presidential campaign that wasn’t. Aides spent hundreds of hours and untold dollars plotting out a route to the White House. But the prospects for his maybe-I-will, maybe-I-won’t campaign were never tested in the quiet of a voting booth.
This week, as Mr. Bloomberg officially ended his flirtation with a presidential campaign, he said he would seek other ways to influence national politics and spread his gospel of “independent, nonpartisan” politics, perhaps to whoever takes up residence in the White House next year.

mm300: Bloomberg: I’m not running, but…

It’s only fitting, for mm300, to return to a most intriguing topic here at this nanocorner of the ‘Sphere©, the potential independent presidential ambitions of Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City.
Faithful reader won’t mind being reminded of some of our previous posts that consider Mr. Bloomberg’s elaborate dance over the past several months.
Indeed, mm066 is the single most hit post on this site.
Obviously, he intrigues many of you as much as he does yr (justifiably) humble svt.
So Mayor Mike wrote an opinion piece in today’s NYTimes.
