NEW YORK - At 6 feet, 5 inches tall, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stands out in a crowd. A would-be progressive standard bearer, de Blasio has spent the past few months exploring a run, traveling to events in early primary states. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found 76% of New York City voters believe their mayor should not run. “I’m glad I could unify the people of New York City,” he quipped when asked about the Quinnipiac poll. The early favourite was City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who would have been New York City’s first female mayor.
