He spends $65 million of his own money and wins the election.
This man voted for Clinton twice, Al Gore, and never voted for Rudy Giuliani.
I don't think republicans can be surprised by ANY of his actions and decisions.

Improving Training Of Abort Docs
Mike vows upgrade at public hospitals
By DAVE SALTONSTALL-- Daily News City Hall Bureau Chief
Mayor Bloomberg will raise the level of abortion training for medical school residents in city-owned hospitals drawing loud cheers and jeers yesterday from those on opposite sides of the controversial issue.
Mayor Bloomberg During his campaign, Bloomberg vowed to upgrade the "current patchwork" training given to ob-gyn residents in the city's 11 public hospitals. Yesterday, one of his top aides confirmed Bloomberg intended to follow through with the plan.
"He said it in the campaign and he meant it," said Bill Cunningham, his communications director. "He is for it and he wants to proceed with it." Bloomberg's plan was hailed by pro-choice advocates yesterday as a brave step that could help ease shortages of fully trained obstetricians nationwide.
Nearly one in seven doctors nationwide is trained in a New York State hospital, they noted, and the hospitals often serve as models for those in other states.
"I don't know that there has been any other mayor to take such an action," said Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL). "And it demonstrates that he takes a woman's right to choose, which he campaigned on, very seriously."
But Lori Hougens, a spokeswoman for the New York State Right to Life Committee, accused the new mayor of "shoving more abortions down the throats of New Yorkers."
"It is sad that in a city that has just suffered the loss of thousands of lives, the mayor wants to add to the carnage," Hougens said, adding her group was exploring a legal challenge.
About 100 residents graduate every year from ob-gyn programs at city Health and Hospitals Corp. facilities, but not all are fully trained in abortion procedures. Bloomberg's program would ensure all residents are offered the same full level of training, although they could opt out on moral grounds, according to a copy of the proposal.
The document notes that the same policy and opt-out provision is in effect at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where Bloomberg will serve as chairman of the board until May.
Tough to Fight If anti-abortion activists sue to stop the Bloomberg plan, they could face an uphill legal fight.
New York State allows public funds to be used for abortions through Medicaid, and Bloomberg is talking only about enhancing medical training.
"When it comes to medical procedures," said Cunningham, "as long as the courts have ruled they are legal and available to the public, you should have the best training possible."
I'm glad a Republican got elected, too, but this does not sound good for the unborn.
God works in mysterious ways. As abortion providers dwindle -- for whatever reason -- abortion will decrease. The other statistic I like is that medical students taking elective abortion has gone down in the past 15 years from 23% to 12%, a drastic decrease. This is good news.
Of course, it's not enough ... only a complete end to abortion will be enough. But this is a start.
Perhaps the overwhelming majority of the residents will object to learning how to perform an abortion because of moral objections ... let us pray for them to see the Truth and object to this evil act.
