Looks like Bloomberg might be thinking about running for another illegal term as mayor.

I guess three terms treating NYC as if it were his personal fief isn't enough for him.

"Bloomberg says it's too bad there's an all-Democratic mayoral field for 2013"

"Unfortunately, what’s likely to happen is that the real election will be the Democratic primary and not the general election this year," he continued. "I don’t know of any Republicans or independents that have talked about, seriously talked about, running. Which is a great shame, because that means the next mayor will be picked by a very small group of people in New York City. But whatever, I think each of them should make their case and I will be out there urging them to do so."
