NYTimes: Bloomberg As Kingmaker

Patrick Healy in the NYTimes today proposes the two state strategy (and suggests the same four states we did), but reverses the deal so that Bloomberg allocates his electors to one of the large party candidates. There is also talk that the deal could be memorialized in a binding contract (backed by a "hefty cash bond") to ensure that certain policy initiatives or cabinet appointments are carried out. This seems highly unlikely.
