Bloomberg Wants to be a Kingmaker

New York City’s billionaire Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has decided he wants to be a political kingmaker http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/nyreg ... mberg.html using his own deep pockets plus his rich friends. He’s unhappy about the remarkable success of the Tea Partiers in nominating conservative candidates, and he wants to remake the Republican Party under the label Moderate.
His first foray into this venture is to host a fundraiser for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. That alone should disqualify him from respectability in the Republican Party. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/nyreg ... mberg.html
Other Democrats Bloomberg is endorsing include the candidates for Colorado Governor and Senator, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. Bloomberg says his idea of how the Senate should function is the 40-year collaboration of the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT).
Bloomberg is famous for getting the New York City Council to allow him to run for a third term as Mayor, despite the city’s two-term limit. He won with only 51% despite spending a ridiculous $185 per vote. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09 ... g-records/
