He’s got more money than Romney...so like a Steve Forbes I guess...I know he’s republican... i understand he did that because he would not have any runoff possibilities in republican primary..

"I know he’s republican"

He was never a republican and "resigned" as one to become an independant. Thank goodness.

[Truth29]

He was a Democrat who nominally became a Republican to run for mayor and now has re-registered as an Independent. So he seems to be whatever is convenient at the moment.

[NYC Republican]

He’s not a Republican, as of a few months ago

[Captain Peter Blood]

Bloomberg is not a Republican he was a Liberal Democrat and ran as Rino in NY to be Mayor. He is a tried and true Liberal and will take votes from a Democrat not a Republican.
NY business wise is worse off under his tenure as Mayor. He has increased taxes and regulations and business is leaving NY in droves.

[mbraynard]

Few corrections: Bloomberg is an independant. He changed his registration earlier this year. Romney has more money than Forbes, but Bloomberg is a billionaire.

He’s always been a donkey up until very recently. All show...

[ajay_kumar]

I understand Bloomy was a democrat before he switched to GOP.

"...I know he’s republican.."

I don't think so:

Although a lifelong Democrat, he ran on the Republican ballot and was elected mayor in 2001, then reelected to a second term in 2005. He is frequently mentioned as a possible independent candidate for the 2008 presidential election and fueled that speculation when he left the Republican Party in June 2007.

He is the Forbes #34 richest, with $11.5 Billion.

Speaking of Forbes, Forbes said on CNN today he'll be very surprised if Bloomberg does't run.
