Not only is New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- known to have some kind of score to settle with Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand -- showing interest in Gillibrand's potential challengers, but now his long-time girlfriend is popping up as a sought-after GOP candidate.
The New York Senate race is getting personal for Big Apple Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Very personal.
Not only is the registered independent -- known to have some kind of score to settle with Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand -- showing interest in Gillibrand's potential challengers, but now his long-time girlfriend is popping up as a sought-after GOP candidate.
Diana Taylor, the former state banking superintendent who has been dating Bloomberg in a Hollywood-style romance for the past decade, met last week in Washington with Republican officials looking to lure her into the race, a Republican source confirmed to FoxNews.com. She reportedly says she's not interested, but the addition of her name to the mix only twists the already-tangled web of Bloomberg's involvement in the race.

Yipes! Bloomberg has a GIRLFRIEND?
Somehow, I’d always pictured New York as a large enough state that it could find and elect people based on the merits of their fitness for office, not who they sleep with or who they are related to. But I guess I’m wrong. Al D’Amato looks like a paragon of virtue compared to everyone the Democrats seem to promote.
{Yes, I know Bloomberg is technically a Republican but if anyone can be classified as a RINO, Bloomberg is it. He’s a only a Republican because he didn’t sleep with/marry/sexually harass the right Democrats.)
WE DON’T WANT HER, MR. BLOOMBERG. CLEAR ENOUGH?
I hope New York is laughing their butts off.
that little gun grabbing, Saturated fat banning, salt hating little toad of a nebbish???
well he just openend his wallet, and there she was.
They’ve got to be kidding. Who else will the Republicans approach?
She IS NOT A REPUBLICAN! Bloomberg should not be allowed anywhere near the GOP!
People in NY are dead serious, and they embrace socialism. Have for years
Great reporting.
The third paragraph is identical to the first paragraph.
LOL!
Tha’s a very scary photo...
Bloomberg is a nanny-state liberal who switched to the GOP in ‘01 because he couldn’t get the Donk nod. Now he’s an Independent who leans RINO. Unfortunately he not only wants to tell everyone else what they can eat, drink, smoke, etc., he wants to force them to do it his way by law.
Sought-after by whom??
Think the GOP can win without the Conservative Party support?
lol
WOW! the John Lennon and Yoko Ono of politics.
No, he's actually an Independent. He changed his party affiliation back in 2006 (I think), and has never changed it back.
