Mr. Bloomberg’s endorsement was largely unexpected. For months, the Obama and Romney campaigns have sought the mayor’s endorsement, in large part because they believe he could influence independent voters around the country.
Mr. Bloomberg has steadfastly withheld his support, largely because he had grown frustrated with the tone and substance of the presidential campaign – recently deriding as “gibberish” the answers that Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney gave during a debate to a question about an assault weapons ban. He has expressed disappointment with Mr. Obama’s performance over the past few years, and concern about what he has described as Mr. Romney’s shifts in views over time.
In announcing his endorsement, Mr. Bloomberg listed the various steps Mr. Obama had taken over the last four years to confront the issue of climate change, including pushing regulations that seek to curtail emissions from cars and power plants. But the mayor cited other reasons for endorsing Mr. Obama, including the president’s support for abortion rights and for same-sex couples, two high-priority issues for the mayor.
At the same time, Mr. Bloomberg said he might have endorsed Mr. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, except for the fact that the Republican had abandoned positions he once publicly held.
“In the past he has taken sensible positions on immigration, illegal guns, abortion rights and health care – but he has reversed course on all of them, and is even running against the very health care model he signed into law in Massachusetts,” the mayor said of Mr. Romney.
Interesting. Not that will make any difference in NY.

Lulz. Piers Morgan seems to think it a much bigger development than it is.

Obama has 80% chance of winning by this calculus.

Get ready for the gnashing of teeth, and no small amount of bitching and moaning.
I predict a slew of Yonivore/Darrin threads predicting the end of the world. :dramaquee

lol
I hear Obama may win California as well.
According to the Romney campaign's "internal polling", Mitt is within 2% points of Obama in New York... and gaining momentum!

i'm not mad about his endorsement of obama, in fact i'd be pissed off if that douchebag endorsed anyone but him. i just don't like Nazi's, it wasn't right in 1940 and it isn't right today. bloomberg is as shitty as politicians come.

He acts just like one. He banned guns in his city so that thugs could take over and create the highest violent crime rate in the nation, and he's an authoritarian who measures how much soda is in your fucking cup. Word around the street is, soon he will start sending out his goons armed with rulers to make sure nobody has too big of a cock in NYC maximum of 4 inches.

What the wing-nut media, who is still portraying this as a close Presidential race, it's not, isn't telling you that Bloomerg cited 'global climate change' for endorsing Obama...
The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast — in lost lives, lost homes and lost business — brought the stakes of next Tuesday’s presidential election into sharp relief,” Mr. Bloomberg wrote in an editorial for Bloomberg View.
“Our climate is changing,” he wrote. “And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it may be — given the devastation it is wreaking — should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.”
Mr. Bloomberg’s endorsement is another indication that Hurricane Sandy has influenced the presidential campaign. The storm and the destruction it left in its wake have dominated news coverage, transfixing the nation and prompting the candidates to halt their campaigning briefly
