Mayor Mike<\/a> has endorsed Pete King<\/a> for re-election. \u00a0NPR’s piece, “Bloomberg Busy Backing Candidates Of Both Parties<\/a>,” contains a very important observation:<\/p>\n

“… Political science professor Douglas Muzzio, of Baruch College in New York<\/a>, says Bloomberg \u2014 if nothing else \u2014 is collecting some political IOUs. “Certainly it makes him a national player,” Muzzio says. “He’s getting chits from both sides of the aisle. It fuels the narrative of Mike Bloomberg, plutocrat, as philosopher king and all that comes with it \u2014 both in terms of influence and ego if you will.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Damn right he’s collecting political favors and he’s going to use them to advance his gun control agenda. \u00a0King has floated between a C<\/strong> and D<\/strong> rating over the years so it will be interesting to see whether it drops down after this endorsement.<\/p>\n
