(Newser) – Mayor Mike has been quiet on the presidential front lately, but don't think the billionaire former Wall Streeter is quite resigned to the sidelines yet.

One thing that's sure is that if he ran it would be an all-out blitz. A showman attracted to risk and actually energized by negative press, Bloomberg doesn't do things half way.
