The New York Times has a great article today about Michael Bloomberg and the possibility of him running for President. Their take is that not only should he run, he should also lose but win a few states, thus effectively making him the power behind the throne so to speak.
Although, I am quite sure it would is a slim chance with Bush effectively making it extremely difficult for any Republican to be elected. You can’t rule out the implications and the amount of might such a person would wield. He would not be subjected to the checks and balances of the Presidency nor have to handle the daily running. In balance, however his powers are of course not as far reaching. Still for people like Mr Bloomberg, the amount required is but loose change and most certainly, he would be hoping for such a scenario to appear next year with himself in the driver seat.
