Mayor Mike Bloomberg Wants To Be Vice President

According to a recent quote by Mayor Bloomberg, " Who want's a 5 ' 2 " Jew in the White House?". Well Mike, you do. But not necessarily through the front door.

His interest in national politics is a given. It's what he can achieve is the question? Which leads to my speculation that he would eagerly settle for a VP spot with either party. And then run later for the top spot on his own ticket in 4 or 8 years. His credentials would be first and foremost a personal commitment to spend a sizable amount of his own fortune. Say $250-500 million. Another asset would be his appeal to center-left voters and also his state of New York offers a bunch of electoral votes. His best liason would be with Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is a christian conservative and so would cover the right by center-right electorate.

This Judeo-Christian axis would bleed some of Obama's base who looks like the guy who will be the democratic presidential candidate. But I think Obama will win in the end.
