Obama/Bloomberg 08?

Andrea Mitchell said today on the Chris Matthews Show that if Bloomberg was asked, he’d say yes.

And yesterday SilentPatriot @ Crooks and Liars pointed to Chuck Todd—“one of the best in the business as far as I’m concerned”—hinting that:

Those who love the Veepstakes will enjoy today’s Obama speech, not for the substance but for the person who will introduce him: Michael Bloomberg. While the mayor says he’s not endorsing anyone (yet?), this is the second time Bloomberg has given Obama a high profile photo-op (remember the meeting at that diner a few months back?).

LATER: I see there was lots of chattering about this while I was lazing on the Mississippi…

Andrew points to Marc, “Let Obama be the vision guy; Bloomberg could be the brass-tacks administrator.” Todd Beeton @ MyDD says that “sounds like an argument for an Obama/Clinton ticket, doesn’t it?” Josh Marshall doesn’t see why Bloomberg would do it but it makes good sense to me.
