New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has left the Republican party. The lifelong Democrat, who switched parties in 2001 to avoid the crowded field on the left, has registered as an Independent.
Of course, the party switch probably has something to do with those rumors that Bloomberg is going to run for President on an Independent ticket with Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. Either that, or he was just embarrassed of being in a party affiliated with President George Bush.
He shares the cover of this week's Time Magazine with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.....
