Bloomberg? I know he started as a Republican, but can he be passed off as one today, after his nanny-state, gun-grabbing, soda-grabbing stint in NYC?

Given the Republican Party's willingness to aid and abet Obama's agenda, I'd say yes.
(Remember the Corker Amendment, always.)

I think Bloomberg would hurt Hillary big time. Lots of NY liberals love the guy.
