Undecided Mayor
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told National Journal reporters at the Watergate this afternoon that he is not sure which presidential candidate will ultimately win his vote. He said he is, however, “enthusiastic” about Barack Obama and John McCain because they represent good choices for the country.
Bloomberg, who sat down for an interview with a group of NJ political reporters, said also that he is “not a candidate” for governor of New York. But, he added, “I’ve got enough of an ego to think I can do it."
As the homestretch of his second term as mayor approaches, Bloomberg said he's unsure what he will do once he leaves office, aside from his various philanthropic endeavors. He said he has selected his reading material, though. Already a regular National Journal subscriber, Bloomberg said he plans to rely on only one other magazine, The Economist, once he retires from public life.
