Some of the Democratic Presidential candidates like the idea of Bloomberg entering the race. Some, but not all.

If I were running for President – and you can all be glad I'm not – I would run ads touting my own accomplishments, not ads attacking my opponents. I believe voters are turned off by attack ads. A former New York City Mayor apparently disagrees.
