He may have planned this forever, or not. He may or may not run. He may or may not have a chance of winning. He may hurt Rudy, he may hurt Hillary, he may hurt neither, he may hurt both. But boy, do we like exercising our writerly skills and speculations on the subject!!!

It makes him not a lame duck. But do the Republicans and Democrats in Albany, for example, now get leery about handing a big forward-looking victory on congestion pricing to the guy who wants to kill their respective presidential hopefuls? Or does it give him an extra piece of leverage, a bunch of extra chips to play with? Or does the whole thing continue to play out based on parochial and local self-interest?
