Mayor To Set Up Bronx Campaign Office

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has given every indication he will spend whatever it takes to retain his job for another term, is setting up a Bronx campaign office, as well as one in each of the other four boroughs on Saturday afternoon. [Here's his new Web site, which features a short video showing a handful of people (apparently New Yorkers) telling you why you should vote for him.]

According to a press release, the first we've received from his campaign office, the Bronx office will open at 1 p.m. at 2542A White Plains Road, which is between Mace and Allerton avenues.

Bloomberg is being challenged by Comptroller Bill Thompson and Councilman Tony Avella ("The Revolition starts...now"), both Democrats. Republican supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis is also contemplating a bid, while Anthony Weiner, a Democratic Brooklyn congressman who was once thought of as a serious contender, has yet to formally announce his candidacy.
