New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg hasn’t endorsed a candidate for president, and doesn’t look likely too. But as the New York Times reports, his personal views on the race may have leaked out:
Mr. Bloomberg said that he believed Mr. Romney would probably be better at running the country than Mr. Obama, according to two guests.
But Mr. Bloomberg said he could not support Mr. Romney because he disagreed with him on so many social issues, these two people said. The mayor mentioned two such issues: abortion rights and gun control.
As a result, Mr. Bloomberg said, he intended to remain neutral, said one guest.
The mayor’s office declined to comment on the conversation.
