NYC Mayor seeks third term!

Edith Honan:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will seek a change in the law so he can run for a third term in 2009, arguing on Thursday that the financial crisis demands a leader of his business acumen.

Voters imposed limits of two 4-year terms on elected city officials in 1993 and 1996, but Bloomberg, a former Wall Street trader and self-made billionaire, will ask the City Council to extend the limits to a third term. This would permit him to enter the mayoral race for the November 3, 2009, election.

And you thought that this only happens in banana republics? No! Its called politics!
