    Mayor Bloomberg

    "Bloomberg is basically just Rudy Giuliani with a billion or two dollars to spend to alter the election."

    I know you are talking strictly from the standpoint of Presidential politics. However, for those who do not live in New York City, it might be worth pointing out that Bloomberg has been a vastly better mayor than Giuliani. Bloomberg may be a corporate oligarch, but in terms of effective governance of a NYC, he is not a delusional megalomaniacal batshit insane crackpot like Giuliani was.
