It says he will introduce him at an economic speech at Cooper Union, but doesn't state he'll endorse. Am I reading too much into this, or is he going to say something tomorrow at this introduction?

1. According to the Obama campaign, no.

2. Well of course they're going to say no.

You never let the cat out of the bag until the last minute.

It'll be interesting to see what he says.

3. When Repugs endorse you, that's not good

4. That's not necessarily true - it depends on WHO it is

If we are ever to get the country back on track, it's going to take reasonable people from all sides.

5. Besides, Bloomberg left the Republican party

and is now an independent, but all his policy stances would put him squarely in the Democratic camp. He was a Republican of convenience, in my opinion.

7. I believe he started as a Dem

Then he switched to repug when he ran for mayor of NYC. And he has since gone to Independent.

8. Nope.

He's back on the reservation. Just gave 500,000 to state GOP to help them hang on to NYS senate. ( There's a link to the story on the NY Forum). Apparently the "independent" masquerade is history.

Besides, he's pro-war, anti-union and anti consitution.

6. I'm watching local NYC news

and the mayor has said not to expect an endorsement today.
