The Times reports that Mitt Romney meet with Mayor Bloomberg:
“… On Tuesday, Mitt Romney had a private breakfast with Mr. Bloomberg at the headquarters of the mayor’s philanthropic foundation on Manhattan’s Upper East Side … Over coffee and juice, the two discussed several staples of Mr. Bloomberg’s agenda in Washington over the last decade: the economy, immigration, education and even gun control (a topic on which the two man are not entirely on the same page) …”
I would like to know whose dumb idea it was to have Romney sit down with Bloomberg. The man brings nothing positive to the table.
“… His imprimatur could be useful to either candidates, conveying the approval of a businessman known for his common-sense and nonpartisan governing style …”
LOL! Only the New York Times believes that. The rest of America, when they think of Bloomberg (if they think of him at all), they think of an arrogant, statist control freak from a liberal la-la land. This was not a good move for Romney.
Ugh.
Perhaps Romney is meeting with him to discuss possible financial support. Mike is after all a multi-billionaire.
I don’t believe they’re that far apart on gun control either. Mike says that he supports the Second Amendment. So does Romney.
Romney is worth a few hundred million dollars. He doesn’t need money. The campaign will get piles of cash from the Republican machine.
Money wins elections and the incumbent has a much larger campaign war chest (as well as an enrollment advantage).
I would bet money that Romney wants more money.
