Will Bloomberg Run?

On New Year's Eve, Michael Bloomberg was asked by New Year's Rockin' Eve co-host Ryan Seacrest if he was planning on running for Prez. Bloomberg emphatically said he had no intention of doing so. But take a look at this video.

And this MSNBC news report on December 30th:

Buoyed by the still unsettled field, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is growing increasingly enchanted with the idea of launching an independent presidential bid, and his aides are aggressively laying the groundwork for him to run.

It surely seems like an awful lot of of work to be doing for someone who has no intention of running. What a wrench in the works it would be if he did.
