Last night I sat in on a weekly meeting at the Old Town of a small group of New Yorkers trying to draft Michael Bloomberg to run for president.
They’re a pretty dedicated bunch, and they're optimistic about what they see as barely-hidden signals that he will indeed run.
In the clip above, supporter Jennifer Pinto, a real estate agent and self-described liberal Democrat, addresses the small issue of the mayor's denials of any intention to run.
Supporters Simpson Grey and Joe Havelka respond by pointing to Bloomberg’s track record.
