Just when we thought we had a handle on the over-sized field...

There have been rumors, whisperings, the occassional outright scream, about NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg jumping into the White House race as an independent. Just when such talk seems to quiet, there is news like this. This is former OK Senator David Boren in this morning's NY Times suggesting that if the prospective party nominees failed to embrace bipartisanship within two months, "I would be among those who would urge Mr. Bloomberg to very seriously consider running for president as an independent."
