BLOOMBERG: Manhattan Media's political site City Hall has an interesting article about billionaire NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg (Independent), who may yet become a 2008 Presidential candidate despite his repeated denials to the contrary. In fact, Bloomberg's repeated denials of interest actually appear to be part of a very calculating marketing strategy. Read the story here -- amusingly entitled "If He Did it ..." -- especially because it features thoughts on the topic from Bloomberg political guru Kevin Sheekey, US Senator Chuck Hagel, political consultant Ed Rollins, former Maine Governor Angus King and others. That fact that Sheekey is quoted so prominently makes it worth a read. Sheekey is the Bloomberg strategist who keeps floating all those the "Bloomberg for President" stories to the media -- yet Bloomberg has kept Sheekey on his City Hall payroll and (according to Sheekey) never instructed him to stop promoting a possible White House candidacy.
