Bloomberg switches parties, speculation soars


If Mayor Bloomberg jumps into the presidential race it would be a fascinating conundrum for GLBT activists. None of the major contenders with a shot at the nomination supports marriage for gays and lesbians. But Bloomberg is fully on board, and helped lobby on the marriage bill in Albany.

Would be very interesting, though I don't think he's really going to run. He likes attention -- and it serves him well right now -- and boy is he getting a lot of attention.
