Mayor Bloomberg has endorsed Scott Brown over Consumer advocate Warren.  Perhaps his wall street customers (of Bloomberg trading software) encouraged him to pick Brown. 

So, will Bloomberg next come out in support of Mitt Romney?

I read an NYT thing about it and he stated that it was (at least partly) because Brown voted against the party on a gun control measure (might have been the assault weapons ban, I can't remember), which Romney probably won't do.

Bloomberg already mentioned that Romney's views on Gun Control, Abortion, and Gay Rights are so out of line that he wouldn't endorse him, even though he acknowledged that he would probably run the government better than Obama.

We're still not 100% sure what they are. They've been various things at various times.

Brown's socially moderate and a Wall Street crony. Shocking that Bloomberg would jump in on his behalf to diss Warren. I don't know what this has to do with Romney/Obama..at all.

Did Scott Brown not have enough of a Wall Street problem running against a liberal Democrat in Massachusetts in a Presidential year? I doubt that Bloomberg holds enough Indy cred in Mass. for this to be a net positive for Brown, correct me if I'm wrong though.

As for Bloomberg endorsing Romney; I doubt it. Romney isn't phony moderate enough for the likes of Bloomberg. Unless Bloomberg is looking for the VP nod, that would fit; two of the world's richest tools on the same ticket. Beautiful.

Warren is a threat to his self-interest. Obama is not.

Circa 2012 Mitt Romney on Abortion (overturn Roe V. Wade), and at least Gay Rights (TRUHditional Marriage), and what i think are his views on Gun Control (Love Me Some NRA).
