Early March Decision?

While the NY Times is running a story about the growing impatience of waiting for Bloomberg to make a decision about 2008, CNN is running a story that Mayor Mike will make his decision in March:

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will decide by early March whether he will
pursue an independent bid for the White House, a source close to the mayor told
CNN.

The source, who is very familiar with the mayor's deliberations, said Bloomberg is
assessing his chances in a potential bid for the presidency.

The source said the mayor -- who has been widely speculated as being
interested in running for the White House as an independent -- has had data
collected but hasn't started to analyze it yet.

It has been widely circulated that Bloomberg is conducting extensive polling to see how viable he will be as a candidate in 2008.

I agree, it does not make sense to announce before Super-Super Tuesday on February 5th. A Bloomberg candidacy hinges best on the two parties nominative very partisan creatures.
