NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg leaves GOP (Yahoo!)

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday switched his party status from Republican to unaffiliated, a stunning move certain to be seen as a prelude to an independent presidential bid that would upend the 2008 race.

The billionaire former CEO, who was a lifelong Democrat before he switched to the GOP for his first mayoral run, said the change in voter registration does not mean he is running for president.

Mayor Bloomberg has been one of the best mayors of New York ever. I'm a bit speechless, I don't know what to think. What if he runs for president? What are the political implications of this?
