“Over the past year, I have been working to raise issues that are important to New Yorkers and all Americans — and to speak plainly about common sense solutions. Some of these solutions have traditionally been seen as Republican, while others have been seen as Democratic. As a businessman, I never believed that either party had all the answers and, as mayor, I have seen just how true that is.”

plez sez: in his op-ed piece, he touches on how 65 percent of americans live in cities, but neither the democrats nor the republicans are even offering solutions for our cities in their platforms. having lived in metro areas (New York City & Atlanta) almost all of my life, i can attest to the move over the past couple of decades to move emphasis to suburban and rural areas (which incidentally have lower minority populations).
i'd be interested to see in bloomberg makes a move to create a viable third party in the US. i could realistically see bloomberg making a serious run for the white house in 4 years since Obama is not a typical democrat and mccain isn't a true died-in-wool conservative. stay tuned.
