Mayor Mike indeed is the great equalizer when it comes to taking on the dreaded million dollar suits in the NRA


click link for whole article-someone on the gun thread complained the whole article(all of which is unfavorable to the NRA)(Imagine someone who loves the NRA attempting to surpress a 1st amendment right so nobody can read views opposite the million dollar suits)... so have to edit to just a couple of paragrahs, the rest need to be read itself=

Here are the greatest hits from the article

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg spent upwards of $9 million of his own money in the final ten days of the 2012 campaign in support of candidates who shared his views on gun control and political moderation, (snip)...

This is just the beginning,” promised Howard Wolfson, a top aide to Bloomberg (snip...)
“On issues like guns and education, Mike Bloomberg is poised to play an even bigger role in advancing a mainstream agenda and influencing elections.”

---(snip)===
What’s clear from Bloomberg’s heavy spending in such a short period of time is the mayor has no plans to leave the national political stage (snip)...
in fact, seems likely to gear up rather than ratchet down his spending for those who support his agenda and against those who don’t. That Bloomberg spent heavily to defeat an incumbent Democrat and to help two Republicans also suggests that he is genuinely committed to backing candidates of either party who share his vision on issues.
