NEW YORK - Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who insists he is not running for president, has relaunched the Web site he used for his mayoral campaigns in 2001 and 2005, mikebloomberg.com.

“This site will help you learn more about the issues important to me and the causes I've supported in business, philanthropy and public life,” it says.

The home page features links that describe his work on issues such as education, health care, gun control and the environment. The language uses broad descriptions that might appeal to a national audience and introduces him on each page as plain old Mike Bloomberg instead of using his title of mayor.

“Mike Bloomberg believes that a good education is the key to unlocking the American Dream for all of our children,” begins the education page.

A section on “Mike Bloomberg in the News” contains links to various stories about the Republican billionaire, including many that speculate about him entering the 2008 race as a self-financed independent.
