| “ | Look out, Hillary and Barack, here comes Mike. No, not Mike Huckabee (though he'd better watch out, too). Mike Bloomberg--Mayor Mike as millions of New Yorkers more or less affectionately call him.
And this time it is for real. Folks close to New York City's twice-elected mayor suggest that he's made up his mind to end one of the city's long-running rumors and become an Independent candidate for president.

Tuesday--Feb. 5. By then Bloomberg would have a pretty good idea of
just who would be lining up against his third-party, self-financed
billion-dollar campaign.

trifecta is Ralph Nader's announcement. Bloomberg's candidacy
would almost certainly kill any hopes for a Donk presidential win, but
might help them in the congressional races if the party concedes
disaster at the top and focuses on those races.
