But a high school junior in St. Louis had other plans, which were set into motion on Wednesday. Gabe Fleisher, the 17-year-old whose "Wake Up To Politics" newsletter reaches 50,000 people each weekday, was scrolling through a politics blog after school - "I did my homework, too," he maintained - when a small item caught his eye. He paused. It was an announcement from a local wing of the Democratic Party in Sioux City, Iowa, inviting members to see de Blasio on Friday at the mayor's "first stop on his Presidential announcement tour."
