2. Only That There's So Much Scandal Surrounding Him That Makes Bill Clinton's Affair Look Erased

4. Like what for instance
I'm sitting in Manhattan right now and don't know of any "scandals". He also is not married.

against Bloomberg and his company for sex discrimination in the workplace.

http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1191402195549

While CEO, Bloomberg faced similar accusations. A female sales executive accused him in a 1997 lawsuit of sexual harassment and bias against women, claiming that he and other male managers displayed a discriminatory attitude toward pregnant women and new mothers.

It said that when he found out the sales executive was pregnant, he told her "Kill it!" and said "Great! Number 16!" -- an apparent reference to the number of women in the company who were pregnant or had maternity-related status at the time.

Bloomberg adamantly denied the accusations; the suit was settled in 2000, and the terms were not disclosed.

7. Now I remember
That Mark Green "kill it" ad the last few days of the campaign was why he lost. It was a very ugly ad with no proof behind it.

5. Got that right....the machoism is so thick it drips
But after all this time, he just shows his egotism..how in the hell does he think he is going to win anything. He might take votes away from the republicans but that's all he is going to do. He will never get enough votes to win. I don't understand what people like him think..Even my grandson in high school asks me why would he run, he does't and wouldn't have the votes to win anything. If he had had a real candidate running against him for mayor he wouldn't be one in New York.
