What's so great about Bloomberg?

[Padfoot]

I think the biggest appeal of Bloomberg is the fact that he's an indy and he is fairly centrist which are two of the biggest things voters are looking for.  They want someone from the mainstream who isn't beholden to party bosses or special interests.  If Bloomberg's agenda was well received by the public I think Congress would have a hard time opposing him.  Whichever party was perceived as more obstructionist would quickly lose support.  The parties would probably be falling over each other to prove which one was more supportive of Bloomberg resulting in both parties moving towards the center (especially Republicans).
