They can't handle large sodas so you can't have one, either?

They would much prefer a known friend like Clinton than some wet behind the ears unknown like Rubio.

sorry, Republicans from everywhere, be it the little $25 donor or the big guys, if Bloomberg were the candidate, Rubio or almost any other Republican would look great.

That's not what the article contends. It begins with "Wall Street wants Bloomberg.." Bloomberg/Bush is the ultimate dream match up for them. They win either way. I think Wall Street would prefer Clinton to anyone but Bush as well. These are old friends, part of the club. Perry today was already going populist and he is bold enough to actually try the things he is proposing.

I think if Bloomberg jumped in he'd give Hillary a real run for her money. Would love to see it. He may not be enthusiastic about it right now, but has not ruled out the possibility.
