Bloomberg to host Brown fund-raiser

Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York, is throwing a fund-raiser for Senator Scott Brown, bolstering Brown’s credentials as a business-friendly independent.

Bloomberg’s support could help Brown, a Massachusetts Republican locked in a reelection fight against Democrat Elizabeth Warren, shield himself from critics who say he marches in lockstep with Washington Republicans.

Comments

This must not set well with the ethically challenged Professor Warren.

Bloomberg should keep his nose out of Massachusetts politics. He doesn't live here and considering how successful his endorsement was a couple of years ago (Alan Khazei), I'd say he's bit out of touch. New York corruption makes Massachusetts look like a model government. Brown would be better served by refusing the endorsement, but in politics money talks.
