Michael Bloomberg for President?

Yesterday, Bloomberg announced he's leaving the GOP to become officially Independent. Despite the Mayor's public comment that he had no plan to run for the White House, it's widely reported that his aides are working behind the scenes to explore the mechanics of an Independent presidential campaign. He's got the money. Does he have the time? Ron Brownstein is national affairs columnist for the Los Angeles Times and political analyst for CNN.
