Yesterday, we speculated about New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's political future as Sen. Barack Obama's running mate.
Josh Greenman develops the idea and makes a pretty good case: "Between McCain's resurgence and Obama's rise, the stars failed to align
for a Bloomberg third-party run, as he himself said last night. But
2008 could still deliver an election that breaks all molds. That's
because Bloomberg is uniquely positioned to complement Obama's
strengths and compensate for his weaknesses."
However, Bloomberg himself doesn't think it will happen. As he told NY1 earlier today, "Nobody's going to ask me to run for vice president."

Obama-Bloomberg is a terrible idea. No one knows him outside New York. This is a passing fancy.
