Bloomberg bolts the GOP

In order to run for mayor, Michael Bloomberg switched from his lifelong affiliation as a Democrat to the Republican party. Many cried foul then, and now the Mayor of NYC has proven them right. He has left the Republican Party... possibly in preparation for a presidential run.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leaving the Republican party and will remain unaffiliated with any political party, CBS 2 HD learned Tuesday night.

The move will clearly begin advancing rumors that the mayor is gearing towards a presidential run, which he has denied in the past.

In a statement, however, the 65-year-old billionaire mayor indicated this doesn't change his plans for his political future.

How interesting would it be to have the former Mayor of NYC (Guilianai) facing the current Mayor of NYC (Bloomberg) facing the current junior senator (Clinton).
