Michael Bloomberg: political novice extraordinaire

[from PoliticalWire.com: Bloomberg Seeks to Revive Liberal Party] New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg (R), "who switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 2001 to run for mayor, is hoping to revive the state's Liberal Party so that he can run on its currently defunct ballot line in November," the New York Daily News reports. "That would allow Bloomberg to run as a Republican-Liberal -- a fusion that the city's overwhelmingly Democratic majority might find a little easier to support in voting booths this November."
