Comfortable Enough in Gracie Mansion

Presidential flirt and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg will not run after all.
Here's the AP story that just crossed.

NEW YORK (AP) -- After two years of playing coy about his
presidential ambitions, Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared in a
newspaper editorial Wednesday that he will not run for president as
an independent and said he might support the candidate who "takes
an independent, nonpartisan approach."
The 66-year-old billionaire businessman, who aides had said was
prepared to spend $1 billion on his own independent campaign, wrote
in a New York Times editorial that he will be working to "steer
the national conversation away from partisanship and toward unity;
away from ideology and toward common sense; away from sound bites
and toward substance."
