You can read about the mayor in 12 languages, including Haitian Creole, Hindi, Arabic, and Yiddish. The site also features a blog by Howard Wolfson. Wolfson’s first entry is about the political diversity of the staffers hired for the Bloomberg reelect:
On most campaigns this exercise is similiar — while someone will occasionally throw out a candidate you have never heard of, most of the names are familiar. And so when we began to go around the room at the first Bloomberg 09 staff meeting I was immediately struck by how many different campaigns our staff had worked on. In the room were people who had worked on Democratic and Republican campaigns, for the WFP, the Independence Party, and for a Democratic Socialist (Go Bernie!).
Bloomberg has put together a team of all-stars — in an even numbered year most of these folks would be working on national campaigns — despite the fact that he faces no real opposition in his campaign for a third term. It’s nice to have money.
