Mayor Clinton?

ClintonJerry Brown hints at it, it was the subject of fan fiction, it causes jeers from his old foes and cheers from at least one fan.

Will Bill Clinton run against Republican incumbent Michael Bloomberg for Mayor of his new hometown, New York City?

The primary is in two months and an army of less than stellar Democrats are seeking their party's bid. Could the former President jump in and stir things up? It would be a pundit's dream!

We've heard some buzzing that it's being looked at - particularly in terms of Clinton's recent health issues and Hilary's potential White House run. What better way to not have to putter around the White House as the first First Gentleman and shed himself as baggage for Hilary?

If this is what the Clintons want - expect them to go for it - and for Bubba to have a very good shot to sit atop the Big Apple.

What better mayor for NYC than Bill Clinton? I would think he would know how to make New York more of a premier city. He can bring the money, business, and community support like no other. Will it happen? No. It's just some pipe-dream from a political operative more than anything else.
