...Founded in 1917 by electrical pioneer Lucien L. Nunn, the small college on the Nevada-California border is known for giving students an active role in hiring their own professors, required ranch work, and sending what one Deep Springs alum called “a consistent flow” of its graduates to Harvard...

But 2008 is different because Mike Bloomberg, the Democrat turned Republican turned unaffiliated mayor of New York City, might run--and spend $1billion of his personal fortune on the effort. Both Nunn and Hagel have suggested they would accept an offer to be Bloomberg's running mate.
