Bloomberg Offers Few Details on Romney's New York Visit The candidate was pleasant. He acknowledged that New York was amazing. And, if he walked down the street, the mayor would greet him, and by his first name, no less. That's about all Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg would give up Friday morning, as he talked on his weekly radio show about his half-hour breakfast Tuesday with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. "I've known him over the years," the mayor said, citing his roots in Massachusetts, where Mr. Romney was governor. He pronounced Mr. Romney "a very pleasant guy" and said, in an attempt at modesty, that the governor had been "nice enough to stop by." Would you say we're close friends? Probably not,"" Mr. Bloomberg said. "But if I saw him on the street I'd say, "Hi, Mitt"; he'd say, "Hi, Mike."" Whether that chumminess affects the mayor's feelings about Mr. Romney's policy platform, Mr. Bloomberg did not say. He offered no details on whether he would support Mr. Romney over President Obama, who has also been seeking the coveted prize of the mayor's endorsement. The mayor did provide a broader assessment of the two presidential contenders, saying that Mr. Romney and President Obama were "very different people" with "very different views on social issues and fiscal things, although in elections it's really hard to tell what somebody's going to do when they are in office." Mr. Bloomberg said that he had regaled Mr. Romney with facts and superlatives about New York City's successes in recent years, including higher life expectancy and low crime rates. "He just kept saying, "That's amazing,"" the mayor said. Mr. Bloomberg concluded that "the city has a lot of reasons to be proud," before segueing into a story about attending the Knicks playoff loss at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night - not exactly an example of New York success. Mr. Bloomberg added: "I just wish the Knicks had won!"
