Bloomberg Sings Rendition of “Born to Run”

During the course of the year, there was talk of a possible presidential run by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg as a third-party candidate.

This summer, The New Republic noted his “coy” denials of a candidacy in ‘08, and as Daniel Owen from Oval Office 2008 notes, Bloomberg “does enjoy keeping the rumors alive.”

WCBS-TV in New York reported that Bloomberg dressed up as Bruce Springsteen and gave an adapted rendition of ‘Born to Run’ at a party for City Hall workers early in December. Included in the lyrics: “I say ‘Next stop: Washington!’ Cause folks like us, baby we were born to run. We’ll win, you’ll see, and beat the G.O.P. and Democrats.” Stirring stuff. [emphasis added]

Currently, there are three New Yorkers contemplating candidacies for the presidency. Two, of which, are Republicans.
Bloomberg’s predecessor, former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, is neck-and-neck with Arizona Senator John McCain in early polling. Outgoing New York Governor George Pataki is reportedly contemplating a run for office.

Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton recently won re-election to a second term and is ahead in national polls. (Early primary state polls show her much closer to the competition.)
