Quote:New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has taken the gun fight to Chicago and is poised to spend $2 million in an attempt to defeat former Rep. Debbie Halvorson in her bid for the U.S. House seat vacated by disgraced Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr.
Most of the mayor’s super PAC cash has financed an air war against Mrs. Halvorson, a one-term Democratic congresswoman and longtime state legislator with an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, Politico reports.
A Bloomberg adviser told Politico that the mayor, an independent, made the decision to spend the money “without blinking.”
“The fact that it’s a special election, the fact that it’s in the middle of a national debate over the president’s plan … [there is an] understanding that it’s both a bellwether and a harbinger.”

They always have been.
Not always, but you have to go back pretty far.

If Debbie Halvorson loses in IL today it will scare every politician in the country who supports the NRA. Bloomberg has spent over $3 Million of his money to make sure she is not elected. He is supporting an anti from NYC who now lives in IL. The last poll I saw should Bloomberg's candidate winning.
He can throw more money at unseating politicians he doesn't like than the NRA, GOA, and anyone else can ever think of spending. And, that's exactly what he plans to do. He wants to be a King.
