As an Independent who remains undecided (and less-than-excited) about the Big 3, I'd like to pose a question. Before I do that, I'm going to say that the main reason that I remain uncommitted, is due to highly questionable (or anger inducing) past statements and voting records of the front-running Democratic candidates. Since a candidate who I could easily support is not going to win (Kucinich) or simply isn't running (Feingold or Nader), I'd like to know, at the very least, which bad votes the Big 3 have genuinely apologized for. Granted, it's not the same as not voting poorly in the first place, it's a lot better than nothing.

In light of recent articles discussing the probability of a Bloomberg candidacy, I thought I'd take a look at his positions and statements through a Social Liberal/Economic Heterodox prism. I'm also a native New Yorker and have spent a good portion of my adult life under the Bloomberg administration. Here's what he's about, good, bad, and ugly.
