Is Birthday Party Next to Go for Bloomberg?

New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg changed his political party affiliation from Republican to Independent yesterday in a move that surprised some and caused others to speculate he is posturing to enter the 2008 Presidential race as a third party candidate. Bloomberg was a Democrat and then changed to Republican (probably to win the Mayoral election after Giuliani’s terms) and now has become an Independent. I don’t know if he plans on running for the presidency but do we want a leader who can not make up his mind on something as simple as party affiliation. His party jumping would have to be the greatest example of political flip-flopping out there.

Bloomberg was only a Republican in name. His views are pretty liberal so this is no loss to the Republicans no matter how it ends up being spun. He just reminds me of a rich guy who wants things his way and if he does not like how things are going he will take his ball and go home.

In any event, I hope he enjoys his Independence and if he runs for the White House he will only waste his money. He will not win but might affect another candidate’s chances.
