A New York President?

Hillary, Rudy, and Mike are looking to bring some NYC attitude down DC way. Could the presidential race turn into a three-way subway series?

After years of southerners dominating the presidency, New Yorkers now have better odds, offering up three potential candidates. Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani have already declared; the coyer Mike Bloomberg remains adamant that he is not a candidate, even as he takes all the necessary steps (like leaving the Republican party) to facilitate an independent run.
