Washington - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (photo) has given new meaning to the American tradition of buying
elections, as he runs for an unprecedented third term.
By the Nov. 3 election, he will have laid out more than $250 million in his three campaigns for
office. The Jewish media mogul has an estimated $16 billion with which to play. Bloomberg's
opponent, William C. Thompson, has spent $6 million.
In the past there has been talk about him making a
run at the White House.
