Mayor Bloomberg Positioning for 2008?

With the recent informative articles contradicting the Bush/GOP party line published by the Bloomberg media empire, could it be that our Michael is looking toward the future? Is it that Mayor Mike is positioning himself as a true Republican patriot, as opposed to the treasonous Republican non-patriots in Washington? Remember, Michael Bloomberg is the Republican Mayor of New York City, and by positioning himself as truth-seeker rather than a truth-oppressor, he could easily appeal to those Republican who are disgusted with Washington but can't bring themselves to vote against their party. Time will tell.
