by Arun Venugopal
NEW YORK, NY September 03, 2008 —All eyes will be on presumptive Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin as she makes her big speech at the Republican national convention tonight. But not Mayor Bloomberg. He says he’s got other plans.

REPORTER: Palin has not made any public speeches since Friday, when John McCain picked her for the No. 2 spot on his ticket.
