N.Y. mayor bloomberg just announced that despite term limits he intends
to seek re-election to a third term. The city can't do without him in
these bad times. How come during the crises of 9/11 a very popular mayor
Guilliani didn't feel it was necessary to consider himself above the law.

Actually, he DID. Rudy tried very hard to have his term extended, and
not let the newly elected mayor take office until things settled down.
At least Blomberg is willing to be elected by the people, rather than
retaining office by fiat.
