Not that Bloomberg wouldn't have conflicts of his own. I think he genuinely means it when he calls for an end to the gridlock. We shall see. Something needs to shake this race up so it doesn't degenerate into nine months of character assassination.

But when I think more about Bloomberg as the candidate, I am less enthusiastic. The clincher is the statement that he will spend up to $1 billion of his own money. Isn't that our problem? Just another person buying their way into high office? At first blush, I like this idea of a major third-party movement.
