Billionaire Mort Zuckerman is apparently thinking of running for Senate in NY -- probably as a Republican (a la Bloomberg).
Zuckerman is the archtypical "liberal on social issues/conservative on economic issues" crypto-Democrat. He recent wrote a nasty piece Obama is doing everything wrong for the Daily Beast.
When Clinton was Pres. he thought it would be good to have a GOP Congress as balance
He even bought into the "Vegas to Disneyland" crap arounds the stimulus:
I'm just going to remind you of one example. When you have Harry Reid, the Majority Leader in the Senate getting a $350 million grant for a UniRail to go from Las Vegas to Disneyland, you know where a lot of this money went. It's almost a farce. And we, unemployment is much worse than those numbers and it's going to be worse and be higher next year at this time than it is this year.
And as the comments here will no doubt show, he will ignite an I-P food fight.
