Although Bloomberg hasn’t formally announced his candidacy, that doesn’t mean that he isn’t campaigning. Rumors speculate that he has his eyes on March, waiting to see the clear set of primary winners and then formally announce his candidacy. Just this past week he attended a news conference concerning the National Economy in California with California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell. At the conference Bloomberg stated, "We cannot hand our children a nation that is crumbling from neglect," – mighty words from a non-presidential election candidate. Bloomberg continues to travel across the country, making statements regarding national concerns in order to further his ‘independent’ mission to ‘re-build’ America. Furthermore, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania are all rich with electoral votes and Bloomberg just happens to have made ties to all three. Like a ninja, Bloomberg is running his campaign under the radar. The only difference between his campaign and all the other candidate’s is that the latter have publicly stated their presidential ambitions and openly campaigned for popular votes, whereas Bloomberg is building ties and biding his time. Keep an eye out for Bloomberg; he’s a sneaky one.

If Bloomberg decides to run, I find it hard to believe that this "sneaky" strategy will really help him enough to win the presidency. Indeed, his campaign is "under the radar," which clearly shows its lack of success. Ties will not win him the presidency, media coverage will. I feel as though if any Independent were to win , it would be Ron Paul who has gained so much media support in his campaign for the Republican nomination.
