Guv says Bloomberg would be ‘excellent candidate’
(06-19) 15:31 PDT Los Angeles — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that he would welcome New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — who has hinted he may spend $1 billion to run as an independent candidate for the White House — into the 2008 contest because the mayor’s message is “all about fixing problems and creating a great vision for the future.’’
“I think he would make an excellent candidate,” said Schwarzenegger, speaking to reporters following his keynote address at a conference exploring the values of bipartisan politics sponsored by the Center on Communication Leadership at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School.
“I’ve never seen anyone that quick with the action. I mean, a problem comes: solve it. A problem comes, solve it,” Schwarzenegger said as he stood with Bloomberg at the Creative Artists Agency in Century City, where the two addressed an audience of about 200 politicians, academics, pundits and civic leaders.
The California governor’s comments about Bloomberg were made while the two starred at a symposium focused on “bridging the political divide” — a call to end partisan gridlock and increasingly nasty campaigns.

I remember Nelson Rockefeller trying to buy his way to the Presidency. Even money can’t buy votes sometimes. Bloomberg, Giuliani, Clinton, all are merely New York liberal wannabe candidates. All losers.
