New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is prepared to spend an unprecedented $1 billion of his own $5.8 billion personal fortune for a third-party presidential campaign, Ralph Z. Hallow will report Tuesday in The Washington Times. "He has set aside $1 billion to go for it," a long-time business adviser to Mr. Bloomberg tells The Times.
"The thinking about where it will come from and do we have it is over, and the answer is yes, we can do it." The $1 billion would represent about one-fifth of Mr. Bloomberg's personal fortune. "Mike has been meeting with Ross Perot's most senior people about how they did an independent run in 1992," the Bloomberg business adviser said.
Republicans tell The Times that they are taking the Bloomberg threat seriously, while the mayor's associates say they are fielding calls from staffers for Republican Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, which the Bloomberg adviser compared to "a biplane on fire and spiraling down."

Any conservative FOURTH party candidate would win.
He is nothing more than a very wealthy Jewish version of David Dinkins. I do hope he runs because he can only skim support from the Democrats and about 100,000 RINOs from the N.E. Run, Mikey, run.
New York City voters would prefer current Mayor Michael Bloomberg over former Mayor Rudy Giuliani for president of the United States.
Ofcourse they would. They want him the hell out of the NYC mayors office any way possible.
This an election not deal for the use cars salemen with thsi girly mentality, your type hinder Hunter in my eyes if it is fools like you who would vote for him!
I will vote for a man who thinks above the belt!
What kind of man spends $1 billion of his own money to get a job that pays $600,000?
You mean 400,000. That is even worse. But to answer you question...a guy with a big ego.
If he only skims votes in the NE and Liberal states who vote Liberal anyway, then it does not matter.
Oh yeah, I'm sure Bloomberg will want to appoint another Alito and Roberts to the Supreme Court.
You really have no idea who Hunter is, do you?
Are you speaking to the pic or the comment? I liked them both, but that’s me. I also realize you weren’t speaking to me, but I got a vote for Hunter= fool from your comment, and that’s who gets my vote. Not sure what you are on about but I was taught that calling one a fool is not only poor taste, but wrong. Would it be fair for me to say you hinder Romney by referencing others as fools? Thinks above the belt? Romney? I suppose that is correct as abortion is below the belt, and just came to his attention after much research, thus his enlightenment.
My bone of contention is the Murdock syndrome of using sex to sell things.
I call him on it the other day in PM but you see he was taking a gab at me with that post.

This is how alll this started with his slur about Romney and the pro choice etc.
In Romney personal life he did not believe in those things but how can you forced another to live their life according to your personal belief.
Abortion is always something the Church council against but at which point the spirit enter in the body was always vague, unknown!
That is why so many in the political field were pro-choice because personally one could have that is their personal conviction that abortion was wrong, but could they impose their personal conviction on another when the life part was so vague not knowing when the spirit entered?
What Romney witness at the Embryo Stem Cell research labs it all became so clear to him that there is no longer any room to equivocal of what was taking place there.
So by posting provacative things only encourage and weaken the morals of this country and by that very act this ia so hypocritical it like talking out of both sides of one mouth!
Foolish people want it both ways they want to play with fire and the rest is history...
He’s rich and bored. There is nothing else in life for him. why not spend a billion on scholarships educating students who have capability, but lack of means, instead of spending it on signs for a campaign he is going to lose.
why not give me a 100 million? I would build monsterous jet engines and install them all around the equator and slow the earth down to see what would happen. AND, we would have 48 hrs in a day to do double more the crap we do know. But at night I would speed the spin up to hurry up to get to the next 48 hr day, and....(wait, that means the other side of the planet wouldn’t have the 48 hour day...hmmm. I need to think of this a little more.)
Election of 1860: 4-way race won by Abraham Lincoln with less than a majority. Of course the ensuing decade was "interesting times."
Think of him as a male Hillary Clinton.
...Yeah , right!
“What kind of man spends $1 billion of his own money to get a job that pays $600,000?”
One that intends on getting every penny back and more.
>>A three way split of the liberal vote like that might let a fourth, conservative candidate get elected without all the compromises conservatives are usually called on to make.
What an interesting precedent. Thank you for that.
I still didn’t like him when he was my mayor. Absolutely no way he’s getting my vote.
