Bloomburg's end game - Unity '08?

An interesting article over at National Journal is saying that it looks quite possible that NYC Mayor Bloomburg could possibly be eying the inter-partisan group Unity '08. This would be an interesting move by the mayor. I for one, along with lots of other people, think that the only reason he jumped the GOP ship is because he's planning on running for president. Unity '08 would be a good vehicle for him to move forward on his plans. I don't think he'll win no matter what third party group he aligns with, but I think that this could prove to be an interesting move.

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).
