Mike is a typical business Republican. He is a pro-business capitalist. Not a social conservative.

Here is my take— It is rare that you find a candidate that agrees with you on every single issue. But at the end of the day, the President is the executive manager of the world's most powerful enterprise, the US government. I believe most voter's underestimate the value of competence and management experience. What is most important to me is, do they have the competence and the experience to manage such an enterprise? Will they keep the economy strong? Will they make sound judgement in a crisis? Will they hire competent people, or just give valuable positions to unqualified individuals because they either have party connects or "owe" someone because of a campaign contribution?

This makes Bloomberg the right man at the right time. His money buys him independence of a sort no other candidate can claim. Hagel, the name most often bandied about as a running mate, is much much more conservative than Bloomberg, is a very good choice. He is level headed with integrity and balances the ticket very well.

There are many that would like to end the fierce partisanship the country has slipped into. A unity ticket could be the ticket.
