NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg Leaves GOP

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg left the Republican Party on Tuesday and switched to unaffiliated, a move certain to be seen as a prelude to an independent presidential bid that would upend the 2008 race.

In the dreams of the MSM. He wouldn’t have as much effect on the GOP at this point as John Anderson’s independent candidacy in 1980.

The billionaire former CEO, who was a lifelong Democrat before he switched to the Republican Party in 2001 for his first mayoral run, said the change in his voter registration does not mean he is running for president.

“…lifelong Democrat…” sort of says it all. A TRUE RINO (Republican in Name Only). At least the GOP doesn’t have to put up with this political chameleon any more.
