For a spot in City Hall magazine, this illustration depicts New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (Ind.) with New York State Senator Martin Golden (R-Brooklyn.)
The headline reads, “In Boosting Bloomberg Among GOP, a Golden Opportunity for Political Payback, Helping an ’09 mayoral run could pave way for ’10 Congressional run.”
“State Senator Marty Golden is helping Michael Bloomberg get the Republican line this year, perhaps with an eye toward getting Bloomberg’s help to run against Rep. Michael McMahon next year.”
