NY Post: Al Sharpton sure sounds supportive of a Bloomberg candidacy
Michael Bloomberg’s top political adviser held a private meeting with Al Sharpton on Tuesday, and the reverend emerged saying minority voters would emerge as big winners if the city’s former mayor ran for president.
“For African-Americans and Latino voters, a 50-state run will enhance our leverage and get our interests addressed. We wouldn’t just be focusing on a few primary states,” Sharpton told The Post after the breakfast huddle with Bloomberg aide Kevin Sheekey at the Regency hotel.
“A 50-state race could be interesting for the whole country,” Sharpton added.
The high-profile reverend has yet to endorse a candidate in the presidential race, and he said Tuesday that he’s still deciding on his choice.

Sharpton wouldn’t say what he thought of Clinton’s presidential campaign.
But a source familiar with Sharpton’s thinking said none of the current candidates has resonated with him.
“It’s sloganeering and check-off-the-box politics,” the Sharpton insider said.
