Mayor Bloomberg is oft mentioned as a possible running-mate to either candidate, but it seems more likely that Obama would select him than McCain. After all, a moderate Republican like McCain has less to gain than liberal-Democrat Obama in nominating an ostensibly independent candidate. Yesterday, however, Bloomberg did a great favor to McCain in pushing his idea of candidate town halls closer to reality:

Mayor Bloomberg is making a bid to host the first joint town hall meeting with senators Obama and McCain, joining with ABC News to propose historic Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan as the location for the initial general election forum. Mr. Bloomberg and the president of ABC News, David Westin, made the offer in a letter to both candidates released yesterday.
