Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent Michael Bloomberg already has two ballot lines -- the Republican and Independence -- for the mayoral election this fall. But the billionaire mayor, who lost the Working Families Party line to Bill Thompson, wants more.The Bloomberg campaign is collecting signatures for a new party, to be called "The Jobs and Education Party".
Why is he doing this? Apparently to tart up the ballot lines on which he is already running by adding the words "Jobs and Education", which are primary concerns for New York City voters.
The ballot would say "Republican/Jobs and Education" or "Independence/Jobs and Education."
The Bloomberg campaign calls it "just another way to communicate."
