In probably the first and last major political announcement ever made in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg just stated unequivocally on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve that he will not run for president.
Not that he couldn’t change his mind, of course, but it was surprising to hear a straight answer — no — instead of a non-denial denial.

Bloomberg just likes the media attention. He is a smart guy. He has to know there is no chance in hell a Third Party candidate can win the presidency.
