Which means only one thing, he is running for President since he has to run as an independent. 2008 election is going to be insane, Bloomberg has the ability to be a sane Ross Perot and has even more money then Ross did. Even if a Jewish New Yorker has zero chance of actually winning having him simply run will imo be a deciding factor in who actually wins. Given his stances on issues he is going to be someone who siphons votes from center/left unlike Perot who did from center/right and actually caused Bush Sr to lose re-election.
