Bloomberg Asked Clinton to Consider Succeeding Him as Mayor

[Gerald]

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has long struggled to imagine a successor with the combination of star power, experience and grit to fill his shoes.

But not long ago, he was struck by an inspiration:http://topics.nytimes.com/top/refere...ton/index.html the retiring secretary of state.

In a phone call confirmed by three people, Mr. Bloomberg encouraged Mrs. Clinton to consider entering the 2013 mayor’s race, trading international diplomacy for municipal management on the grandest scale. She would, he suggested, be a perfect fit. Much about the call, which occurred some months ago, remains shrouded in mystery. But Mr. Bloomberg’s overture to the former first lady highlights the level of his anxiety about the current crop of candidates, his eagerness to recruit a replacement who can rival his stature and his determination to become a kingmaker in the political arena he will soon exit.

I once would have said the same thing but then for some reason New Yorkers made her their Senator even though she was an obvious carpetbagger from Arkansas and only took the job as a stepping stone for her Presidential run.
