WASHINGTON (CNN) – Rudy Giuliani is remaining coy on the prospect of a 2010 run against New York Gov. David Paterson.
"It's too early," the former New York City mayor said on CNN's American Morning Tuesday. "The governor has a big job. He doesn't need a two-year election campaign. I think he should be given every opportunity to do the very best he can for the state, and then we can see about it six months from now, eight months from now."
Two months ago, in an interview on CNN, Giuliani said he wasn't ruling out a bid in 2010 for governor of the Empire State.
A poll of New York State voters conducted by Sienna College in November suggested that Paterson would top Giuliani by 6 points in a hypothetical head-to-head match up in 2010.
On Tuesday, the former Republican presidential candidate also weighed in on a major decision facing his state's Democratic governor: whom to select to replace Hillary Clinton, who will step down from her senate seat if confirmed, as expected, as secretary of state.
"The governor's gotta go on his instinct," Giuliani told CNN. "He knows what he needs in Washington. If he thinks it's Caroline Kennedy, with the group of experiences she has and contacts and relation with the president, that's fine. If he thinks it's an Andrew Cuomo (New York's attorney general) who has government experience, Washington, New York, very experienced, then he goes with him, and he is going to get tested on it very quickly. I think a lot is riding on it for him, so he will make the best judgment he can."
Whoever is appointed to fill Clinton's seat would join Paterson on the ballot in 2010.

who cares? loser!
Yeah, that'll happen. Go ahead and run Rudy...you guarantee the Dems a victory, particularly after that vitriolic filth you spilled at the RNC. Nobody wants you.
run giuliani, but not for governor.
Aren't you irrelevant ?
As a republican who voted for Obama, I DO NOT want to see or hear this man any more than I want to see or hear Palin. They both helped greatly to destroy the republican party!!! Bush and Cheney were at the forfront of destroying the party!!!
GO RUDY JULIE!!!
Let’s look at this statement by Giuliani . "It's too early," the former New York City mayor said. Now that includes the Noun and the Verb as described by VP Elect Joe Biden. The only thing left out was “9-11” and he put it in the next statement when he said, “I think he should be given every opportunity to do the very best he can for the state, and then we can see about it six months from now, eight months from now." Eight months from now would be in the Aug./ Sept range which is in close proximity to 9-11.
Ruddy....you need to disappear as well.
Giuliani has already written his annoucement speech for 2010. Here it is:
"Ladies 911 and 911 gentlemen, 911 I am 911 proud 911 to 911 announce 911 my 911 candidacy 911 for 911 Governor 911 of 911 the 911 great 911 State 911 of 911 New York 911.
Thank 911 you".
I thought old skull face was interested in running for the Senate? Any bit of power will do, huh?
I can't stand this man. In the words of Biden..."a noun, a verb, and a prononun"..
Creep!...
Mr. 911, just a reminder.......The Community Organizer will be your president effective January 20, 2009.
OMG – Spitzer wasn't embarrasing enough – we want to really go for the gold with GOVERNOR Giuliani??? I think NOT. Although if he duplicates his brilliant strategy from his Presidential campaign I don't think we have anything to worry about.
Go away Ghouliani. Your total lack of anything other than glomming onto your limited (and way overblown) involvement in the 9/11 incident shows that you have no shame. "Hi, I'm Rudy. I was a hero in 9/11. I didn't leave important city offices in the towers, 9/11. I was there on the pile digging for survivors, 9/11, etc." You and your adulterous spouse can go somewhere but I won't say.....
As a resident of Upstate NY, I have to say I am totally unimpressed with Giuliani. His behavior during the presidential campaign was a new low for him – and that is saying something. Giuliani has become nothing other than a caricature of the empty suit that is the national GOP. Paterson, on the other hand, has thus far been nothing but frank and professional as governor – the lone voice of reason on the state political scene.
Rudy Giuliani – Sorry but his days are numbered. He is a racist fool and he will not win becasue of he racist and hatful ways as a Replubicans which have become the dead part of the century.
Patterson is such an idiot. I don't live in New York but seems to me Guilliani has done a LOT more for that state than Patterson.
Rudy.....you were great when you were Mayor of New York City , but it has been all downhill from there. Retire quietly with dignity and please take Judith with you.
Rudy,Rudy,Rudy just go away.
It will be interesting to see what his campaign strategy is. I wonder if he will wait until Florida again
GIULIANI IS A BIG HAS BEEN AND SHOULD JUST GO AWAY. HIS FORM OF NASTY POLITICS IS OVER,THE WORLD HAS SPOKEN AND THERE IS NO PLACE FOR JERKS LIKE HIM IN ANY FORM OF FUTURE POLITICS.
HE SHOULD GO LIVE IN ALASKA WITH SARAH PALIN SO THEY BOTH CAN LICK EACH OTHERS WOUNDS.
THIS MAN IS GROSS TO EVEN THINK ABOUT.
Didn't Giuliani learn from the presidential primary that not very many people want him in office. Give it up Rudy, no one wants a cross dresser for governor.
He would lose the NYC vote. They didn't like him when the rest of the country loved him after 9/11. It's over Rudy.
Go ahead, you should do about as good as Florida, HAAAAAAAA.
My advice for Giuliani is to start campaigning right away in Florida. This strategy has gotta work the second time. He worked out all the bugs the first time during his presidential run.
Kim you called him a creep, I agree 100%, he is so useless it is a pity, I think it is really funny he thinks he can win anything, Go Away Rudy!!!!!
9/11 Rudy need to go f himself.
Anyone would be better than that buffoon that NY has as governor now. Taxing soda is one of his hairbrained ideas while handing out more entitlements to illegal aliens
After witnessing Mr. Giuliani at the RNC, it is evividant that the man stands for hate. yeah, this is what America needs more of.
I wish there were some way to get rid of worn out has beens that don't know they are past usefulness. Go see what dresses you can "drag" out of your closet.
Go away Rudy It is Republicans like you is why the country has rejected the GOP Go away Mr 911
Rudy was NOT great as the NYC mayor, he just happened to be in charge when the city, and the country, was under attack. We wanted to get rid of you then, we certainly don't want you now!
come on rudy run in 2010.WE ALL NEED A GOOD LAUGH.you dispicable idiot
Spare New York Rudy! Your contribution as Mayor was enuff. But if you want more hills to climb, Good Luck with the Governors run, you'll need it.
Scary! That's all I can say
When Meghan can't say one nice thing about Palin, she has decided to keep her mouth shut. Too bad. I would love to hear ALL that she and her father have to say....nothing good!
Another voice the dumocratic thugs are trying to silence, sounds like Stalin is getting power.
Oh Ruby, it has been so pleasing to have you out of the picture for a while. Please remain that way.
i just hate this man he make me sick,RUDY!! what do you wanna do? now a community organizer will be your president
I don't know if Giuliani is really ready for Albany. He might have been able to deal with a small group of people that comprised NYC city council. It is the question of the ablity to deal effectively with those that are from upstate NY. I don't think that they are going to like his style sometimes (or much of the time).
To: Rude Giluiani
It's not too early. It's too late.
Hoping New Yorkers will forget by summertime all of the nasty robo-calls you made Rudy? Keep on hoping!
Rudy, you truly showed your true party colors (and your own) at the Red State Festival of Hate in last summer.
I'm not voting for anyone whose wife is young enopugh to be their daughter...........Just one area where he lacks judgement, or how about his presidential campaign, or Bernard Kerrick....
He is the LAST thing we need in Albany!!
I would take Palin for this job instead of this Rudy tool.I would like to see her fix things without big oil money at her back.Its easy to run a state when your in bed with big oil,just look at Texas,they run the state just like Alaska.
He's running. You'll see.
GL,Pittsburgh- You are either an intellectualy dishhonest person or simply ignorant. Giuliani is not racist nor is the Republican party. Their party has appointed far more African American and Latinos to high cabinet positions than Democrats have. They are the party that freed the slaves and even Martin Luther King Jr was a registered Republican. The Democrat party has hijacked the minority vote because they support terrible social programs that supposedly help minorities but in all reality they have done nothing but keep minorities down and fail them. What have the Democrats ever done that has actually propelled minorities forward in society? The answer is nothing. Their education system fails them and so does every other program.
Rudy, you got no shot here in NY man. You may have been able to win in NYC but statewide is a stretch. I mean come on Obama won the state by 25pts, you'd probably be lucky to grab 40%. I wouldn't be countin on my vote!
On other blogs people were speculating that Ann Coulter was really Rudy Giuliani in drag but that is ridiculous since Rudy is only a cross dresser and Ann is a transexual. Really the only thing they have in common is they are both neocons and bigots.
He should be HEADING for RETIREMENT...with his DESTRUCTIVE Mentality!
Giuliani, GET LOST!!!
For those of you who are not from New York, let me fill you in.
There is a small, but vocal group of people here who worship the
ground this man walks on. Congressman King from Long Island is at the head of the pack. The rest of us, (the majority) saw through him a long time ago. That includes Policeman, Fireman, and Veterans, just come to New York and ask us.
For Al, NY NY,
I have a suggestion.......Wasilla, AK! January 13th, 2009 10:10 am ET
Just another republican Idiot with nothing to contribute.
Unbelievable....more hate and vitriol from the left wingers for a man that is truly an American hero. Its a sad state of affairs in this country.......and especially in NY.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT
Bring it on loser – I think you lost all credibility with us when became the lying attack dog for McCain/Palin. Please run....it will be so much to vote against you.
After the way showed his conduct in presidential elections, he lost my vote.
he has no integrity.
I hope he doesnt win
Rudy "9/11" Giuliani is a loser, after the big presidential primary loss with the wait in Florida approach and skip Iowa, NH and SC strategy, I wonder if anyone can still take this guy seriously. He blew through $60 M and barely won any delegates. It is also remarkable that the guy would drop in the polls whenever he campaigned in a state, people said he was more of a jerk in person.
Go for it Paisano!
Apparently 9/11 is Rudy's fault, and all GOP is racist? I guess >90% of blacks voting for Obama wasn't racist right?....you can bet there would be riots in the streets if that percent of whites voted for McCain......glad to see we're still playing the race-card, gl, Pittsburgh. You DO realize he was an excillent mayor right? The only reason alls you people can even visit my wonderful city is because he made it safe enough for you to dare buy a ticket so you can ride the subways trying to not look lost....of course with the help of his police commisioner.
Another republican who lets his ego override common sense.
You would think with his dismal support during the president
campaign he would get the message. If he runs am sure it
will be with the unethical, swiftboating, absurd lies he touted
previously.
When will the republicans realize people do not want or respect
these kind of tactics?
who cares. rudy you are one of the biggest idiots in the gop. go away. LOL
What a loser. Could not even manage his campaign in the primaries. How can you put all your hopes in FL and not campaign in any other state.
Go away Mr. 9/11
He should run. Someone has to lose to the Democrat. Guiliani would be the perfect choice. He won't run, though, for the same reason he never ran after being Mayor. He'd lose, and the lucrative speaking fees would take a real bad ding. so, he'll 'play coy' until he must announce a decision. The decision will be 'to spend more time with family' or 'be of greater value elsewhere' or some such.
Ghouliani scares me. And he is a horrible family man! Why is he still even in the picture, it's not like he single-handedly took care of New York during 911. He just happened to be mayor at the time.
Well, Rude-y wants to run for Governor? He will probably win if he does with the upstate crowd and his supporters in the city. I just think he needs to run a better campaign than he did for President. Whoever was running that show did a horrible, horrible job.
Rudy Giuliani: Underachiever and proud of it.
Go for it Rudy! And then run for President again in 4 years, and WIN!!!! Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy.......
Of course he is going to lose for sure. All i can say that he is scare to lose again...LOL
I'm pulling for ya there Rudy Baby!
If the New York Republican Party has any life at all left in it, your candidacy would certainly snuff it out.
But if you really want to humiliate yourself, why don't you run again to be the mayor of New York City. That way the New Yorkers who remember your photo-op standing on a pile of rubble that other people were still buried under can show us what they really think of your vaunted 9/11 performance.
Mr. 911, just a reminder…….The Community Organizer will be your president effective January 20, 2009.
The republican party needs better republicans. Imagine Gov. Rudy.
I'm surprised by people outside of NY caring if Rudy will become NY governor, he can't do any worse than Paterson (D).
I'm a Democrat, and not the biggest fan of Rudy, but think he'd make a decent governor. If he runs against Patterson, I think I'd rather have Rudy run the state of NY.
loser, loser, pants on fire........
Giuliani – not getting the message, are you?
You had your moment in the sun, and then the sun set, and when it grew dark, all kinds of scary things came out. You became a viral, hate spewing, racist pig, and I think the country will never forgive you.
You lost your bid for president, and you'll lose your bid for governor. The last thing we need is a Jekyll and Hyde personality like you in another position of power.
Kennedy for Senate. Cuomo runs against Giuliani for governor. Dems will not put Paterson up against Giuliani.
Paterson appoints Cuomo, instead of Kennedy = political suicide. Giuliani wins.
Either way, Paterson out.
Giuliani is crazy, and the only people foolish enough to vote for him would be anyone who hates ferrets more than they care about anything else in life. The media really should stop posting stories about this lunatic.
Rudy can multi-task. With his penchant for dressing up in drag, he could be governor and his own first lady. His claim to fame was being Mayor of New York when the tragedy of 9/11 occurred. He's been his own disaster since then.
What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common? Most fascinating "cause and effect" relationships: Democrat leadership!
Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list)... hasn't elected a Republican
mayor since 1961;
Buffalo, NY (2nd)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954;
Cincinnati, OH (3rd)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984;
Cleveland, OH (4th)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989;
Miami, FL (5th)... has never had a Republican mayor;
St. Louis, MO (6th)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949;
El Paso, TX (7th)... has never had a Republican mayor.
Milwaukee, WI (8th)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908;
Philadelphia, PA (9th)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952;
Newark, NJ (10th)... hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907.
If you want to be poor, vote Democrat !!!!
Kim, that would be "a noun, a verb, and 9/11"
In many ways, Giulliani is akin to the New York version of Alaska's Sarah Palin: Opportunist?-100%; Self-promoter?-100%; Egotist?-100%; Profiteer?-100%; Arrogance?-100%; Candor?-zero!
I think he and palin would make a great team, the first pair of clueless pathological liars that would guarentee the dems a win in 2012.
He's not running. If he were, he has the too much of an ego not to declare now. He needs his name in the news as business at Guilianin PArtners is drying up. What a loser. BTW, even if he were to run? He wuld lose NYC, something no state-wide candidate could win without.
The only thing this man has going for him is an overblown reputation earned by being the mayor of NYC on 9/11. Prior to that date, he was about to be boiled alive for his support of brutal police tactics. Maybe by 2010, he will have blown himself out.
HE'S BACK, A NOUN, A VERB AND 9/11.
Rudy you and Sarah should run for president in 2012 so you can bring the republican party down more. You are both good at letting the hate come out of your mouth.
Not again...another one that needs to just go away
Yea, Goo-goo...run for it, so we can hear you spout off about how on 9/11 you and your President let 9/11 happen, killing/murdering close to 3k people.
Then we can listen to you as you endorse torture and the destruction of our constitution and liberties because YOU can't do your jobs!
Well, after Paterson just imposed about 100 new taxes and fees in NEW YORK (yes, this is relevant for New Yorkers, so Kim in Charlotte and the genius in Pittsburgh, why don't you shut your pie hole? it doesn't concern you. Save your hate for your own state), Paterson will have a tough time getting reelected.
The amount of money New York takes from me via taxes, and now they are taking more, while simultaneously trying to coerce me into drinking the type of beverages they deem "healthy".
HEY NEW YORK AND PATERSON- STAY THE HECK OUT OF MY WALLET AND DON'T TRY TO MAKE MY DECISIONS FOR ME. Arrogant jerks.
please, where does he get this idea, New Yorkers are smarter, i hope, go home Rudy
One big, big reason he should not run: BERNARD KERIK!!!
Plus there are a thousand others
Here we go again with this power mongers. Don't we have in this country some fresh new young politicians to lead in this country in a different way?
We just take the old corrupt politicians and try to play a game we've been loosing for 8 years now. That is called insanity. Get smart and and boost all this people out. Time for new ideas for the new generation.
Rudolph is a sleaze bag who was rejected by his own party during the primaries. Needless to say, go crawl under a rock. You should not be given a place or platform to divulge your stupid views!
Neocons need to go away for a looong time until the rest of us can clean up the putrid mess you have left behind!
Could not make it in the Presidential Primaries, so now he's trying for Gov of NY? Oh, well.
I'd rather vote for spongebob
I voted for you back in the day. NOW, I realize what a mistake that was. I wont commit the same mistake twice. Get Lost!
go Rudy ,America and New York need leadership ,
The college's name is Siena College, not Sienna.
God spares us that stupid, vapid, cross dresser as Governor. Please !!!
Run, Rudy, Run. If for no better reason than to drive the Left crazy. And, after 2 years of Democratic control of the State Senate, after electing Loser Democrats and criminals like Governor Spitzer and Comptroller Hevesi (neither of whom could finish their terms in office; Hevesi couldn't even start his term), the New York public will long for a Republican like you.
Rudy is shameful and no longer the hero he once was.
He disgraced himself during the republican convention and the elections – and I totally dispise him.
I lived through his tenure as Mayor of NYC, and the NYPD did put a dent in crime under his watch. Apart from that, I am not thrilled with him being anything but a private citizen. New York is a blue state and his total bashing of PE Obama during the campaign makes me wonder how many people would cast their votes for him.
Do these self-promoting politicians ever go away?
Dawn Lancaster January 13th, 2009 10:36 am ET
After witnessing Mr. Giuliani at the RNC, it is evividant that the man stands for hate. yeah, this is what America needs more of.
____________________________________________________
And yet there is no lack of hate from the libs when I come on these blogs. The hate goes both ways there ; )
Anyway, I want to see younger republicans enter these races, not the same old guys. The party needs a change desperately.
No way will Rudy be elected.... he used the dead of 911 to win the presidential election bid and turned everyone against him.
He is now a joke and an idiot.
If I have to listen to "Noun, Verb, !!9-11!! for 18 months I will seriously rip my own head off.
Go away. We don't want you here Rudy. Why don't you move to Alaska and run for Senate?
Giulianas luster has totally dimmed. he could only carry 9-11 so far and he sort of made a fool out oif himself during the presidential campaign.
As a NYer, ill give him his props because he was a godd guy to have in office during 9-11. and he did some good things for NY cleaning it up. But unfortunately since then he dropped his moderate ways which is what a lot of us liked about him, and he became just another bitter mean Conservative. I think he should sail off into the sunset and not worry about running for office.
What is Rudy going to run on; 9-11. Rudy and Palin have something in common. They don't know when to go away.
Please lord do not let the people of the great state of New York be stupid enough to vote this rhetoric propagandist into the govenors house.
as stated a noun, a verb, and a prononun
GO AWAY!!!
Rudy,Rudy,Rudy just go away.
No way.
Rudy, you have been tested but FAILED!! Here is a noun, verb , and 911. what a nutjob!! lol
Ok, How can you govern a state, when you MISTREAT your family for your MISTRESS. You should NEVER even think once about being in POLITICS. Your ETHICS is TERRIBLE, MORALLY. Please get out of the LIGHTS. You had your time and let some one else move forward. Or, is this is the way of the STATE of New York.
I sincerely hope New York is smart enough not to elect Giuliani for Governor or any other political office for that matter. His failed presidential campaign strategy shows him for who and what he is. "9/11" is not a key to success.
I sincerely hope New York is smart enough not to elect Giuliani for Governor or any other political office for that matter. His failed presidential campaign strategy shows him for who and what he is.
Rudy needs to go to Iraq.... and stay there! We're sick of him and the Republicans who put our country in the shameful state it's in. Crooks!
He has a meaness that troubles me for the people he will serve if elected.
The adulterous husband of more-than-one-wife; a hatemonger; and one who needs to reconnect with his OWN children wants to govern a state? Get your own house in order, BEFORE you attempt to "govern" and entity that consists of millions of people. Lead by a good, positive example. Go away Rudy Giuliani; just go away.
Please go away already.
Puhleeze crawl back under your Repugnant rock. You will never win another race in NY. If the 9/11 attacks didn't happen in NY you wouldn't have gotten any national spotlight. Quite frankly you didn't do anything special any other Mayor wouldn't have done!
As an Italian American, I have always been proud of Giuliani's ascension in national politics. As an independent voter, I considered voting form him, in the early days of the campaign.
But he has shown himself to be far too consumed by his ego. I no longer care for him to represent me in any way on the national scene.
Rudy: Go back in to the private sector and make millions lending your name to clients. Stay out of politics. We need selfless leadership these days, not an egomaniac.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Oh, please no...
He will never get elected. He is a tool.
dont forget your hood and robe
I think Rudy is right on this as he was in the Presidential primaries. Wait! Don't rush. Jump into the NY Governor race when the voting starts in Florida.
I think Juliani would make a great Governor and I think he would win.
RUDY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAN 911
RU-DY, RU-DY, RU-DY, RU-DY, RU-DY........
Rudy has no shot in NY...he knows it and we all know it too. I doubt that New Yorkers are insane to elect him and i lived in NY for 6yrs myself until recent.
I know folks like the owner of Yankees stadium will sponsor his bid inorder to squeeze NY even more from collecting taxes, but on election day, it will be a washout similarly to the loss experienced by judge Pirro.
Rudy, saying one noun, one verb and 911 is not going to save you either.
Rudy would probably need the help of those he hates to become governor. It is my hope that New York would just say, "No!" to Rudy.
The laughing clown . . . your ship sailed already.
GIULIANI DESECRATED THE LAYER'S OFFICE,
WHILE HIS CHILDREN WERE LIVING THERE, & NOW
HE WANTS TO DO THE SAME IN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
I DON'T THINK SO. I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR MCCAIN.
I agree, please go away and try on skirts, better still your cel phone is ringing, its your skirt, answer it and leave
HEY GIULIANI, YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM !!!!!
Giuliani will surely lose to a community organizer.
I don't know but we believe Rudy can play a good "Penguin" on a Batman movie, LOL!!
As you can see, we talk about a lot of things that's for sure, LOL!!!!
MR. 911
YOU SHOULD JOIN BUSH IN TEXAS.
He's history!
Note to Rudy from nyc from someone who voted for him over Dinkins: You make me sick.
Are his lips moving?What lips?Rudy just doesnt get it does he.Looks like another day of gestapo moderators in the morning except for the likes of TCM and his ilk who never seem to get moderated.It wouldnt suprize me if they were found to be the moderators,stirring the pot to keep sales up.
Of course, Guiliani will run. Mr. Noun-Verb-9/11 has got too big an ego not to.
he added "9/11"
A noun, a verb, and 9/11.
Come on, Giuliani, run for governor and ensure hours of drinking games for millions of New Yorkers!
Rudy did a fantastic job straightening out NYC after Beam, Dinkins and Koch turned it into a sewer. Democrats couldn't have cleaned up that mess. Thanks to Rudy, Times Square is the success that it is today. Go do the same for the state!
Mr. noun, verb, and 9/11 is still trying to stay relevant eh?
Guilani, you'll have about as much success as you did down in Florida during the primaries.
He did a good job for NYC, I 'd be happy to vote for him.
I guess its not just SP, but all republicans that are getting bashed by liberal bloggers–when will they be happy about winning the Presidency?
It was peaceful here without this dysfunctional family. Timeout is over...
Mr. Giuliani, please just go away....New York State does not want you back in any capacity...get over yourself!
Somebody check his"best before"date.I think it's a long time expired.
Before Sarah Palin...in the same vein...there was Rudy Giuliani! Rudy, 2001 was now 8 years ago...you cannot ride THAT 15 minutes of fame anymore.....
Your message and platform and antiquated and obsolete.....your supposed 'save the country' rhetoric rings hollow and insincere.
I hope he DOES run for governor......it would ensure a victory for the other side.
Good for him. I'm glad to see him give the current governor room to breathe and do his job.
CREEP, UGLY, DISCURTING, SCARY, RACIST, ALL MATCH THAT STUPID MAN GIULIANI, EVEN THE NAME IS CREEPY YAK.
Rudy is the ultimate embodiment of the Ultimate Glory Hound!
He was going to "roll" everybody in the GOP primaries; too bad the American people in the GOP didn't get the memo!!!
Due to the derogatory 'Community Organizer' comment made in the republican convention, I don't think Guiliani can win any public office – especially in New York
I would just love to see Rudy give it a try so we may get a chance to tell him, I mean really tell him, where to go. Rudy, like Sarah Palin, seems to have a problem accepting his reality; he's gone as far as he is every likely to go, and that was already too far for this egotistical maniac who sees the world through the prism of his own narcissism. He 15 minutes of fame are up, and we no longer need the bully tactics, thank you.
Now there is a real leader with backbone and smarts. He is a realist that gets things done. He isn't all flowerly with soaring rhetoric. He cares about Main street and knows Main street needs government to get out of the way and that it also needs solid investment from Wall street.
Too bad he isn't going to be inauguarated President on next week.
Instead we go with spend now and tax later Barack Obama. What a nightmare for this country.
No stimulus package has ever and I repeat ever worked. They do more harm than good, but liberals live in a fantasy world so you can't convince them otherwise. They believe government has a bottomless pit of money.
I think Rudy needs to attend Sarah Palin's church and have his demons exorcised!
I prefer him in drag...
Lets get ready for the endless references to 9/11.
The man can't even form a sentence. You can have him New York.
He ranks of the worst of the republicans, and with Palin and Cheney, there's a lot of compitition.
first here's the real question if not rudy then who, its not like theres alot of people to pick from on the GOP side (its not exactly the south) secondly minus his personal life and bid for the presidency he has been fairly successful at almost everything he's ever done
so with this in mind, why not ?
Hey Giuliani, since you have destroyed your rep as a man, won't don't you put on a dress and run as a woman, since you do like cross dressing!
Such a creepy Nixonian character Giuliani is...a deeply paranoid man obsessed with his own self-importance. He may have been the face of New York for one day on 9/11, but those of us who live here are grateful that he is gone.
We all wait with bated breath, Rudy.
In the meantime I' sure you will change some of your public policy positions that you took while running for president back to your original positions you had as mayor. You need a little more time to accomplish this so we won't actually think of you as a cynical opportunist! Oh, and don't slow down on your money making off the 9/11 tragedy quite yet. Another 6-8 months should pull in another five to ten million for the Giuliani coffers, right?
I guess that's when Judi will decide. She would sell him to be the first lady of anything. Shame to see a man give up his self respect to please that Shrew of a wife.
Believe me Rudy, Community Organizer is an infinitely more respectable job than disliked father, heterosexual cross-dresser, cheating spouse, war profiteer or self-proclaimed 9/11 hero. Once the world had a chance to get to know him people realized he didn't have much else to offer than 9/11 stories.
An irresponsible man.
He is one of the individuals who sacrificed the lives of rescue workers and innocent civilians immediately after 9/11. Let's get the economy going again at the expense of the health of New Yorkers. I can't believe those buildings came down and the EPA said the air quality was fine!

This man is shameless!!
Oh my Lord is this ridiculous man still about....why doesn't he just take a "chill pill" and go away.
I think it is sad how so many people come on these blogs and comment as if they have any idea what they are talking about. We civilians have no idea what goes on fully. I am sure history will paint the truth. Be it a positive or negative one, however making such hateful comments while having little information just goes to show how ignorant people are.
I am very concerned for PE Obama. He is human, he is just a man and he has to work within the same system. He can not possibly change as much as people are thinking he will, it is not possible. I pray that the warm fuzzy feelings do continue so he can get things done, I just see that people in that system are already turning on him and he has not even moved in yet.
Stop, just stop. We need to love our fellow Brothers and Sisters. Even if you can not stand the things people do, we are called to Hate the sin, however LOVE the sinner.
"A noun, a verb, and 9/11".
Why does this clown continue to get press coverage. Enough already. Its time for G-man to ride off in the sunset or just ride off
He's the only reason I need to NOT become a republican. While I agree with some of their principals, I despise this guy/gal and until he and the trash surrounding him die out, I'll remain a liberal.
Yeah his popularity really showed during the prez elections.......LOL!
What place was he again?

The adulterous husband of more-than-one-wife; a hatemonger; and one who needs to reconnect with his OWN children wants to govern a state? Get your own house in order, BEFORE you attempt to "govern" and entity that consists of millions of people. Lead by a good, positive example. Go away Rudy Giuliani; just go away."
Truth hurts?
One Giuliani is worth a thousand pissed off liberal idiots...
Rudy...
You might want to call Sarah Palin. As. Lt. Govenor you can help keep an eye on those pesky Russians.
Well..........................Good luck with that!
RUDI GIULIANI IS A PERFECT GARBAGE BAG FOR NEW YORK TRASH. HIS MOUTH IS AS FILTHY AS A TOILET WASTE.
Your 15 minutes were up long, long ago Rudy. GO AWAY!!!!!!
what state VERMONT?
RUDI GIULIANI IS A RACIST. HOW CAN HE LEAD NEW YORK. TAINTED IDIOT.
Well, I don't know about "Juliani" but whatever possibility Giuliani had, he tossed away at the Republican convention. He proved himself to be an opportunist only concerned about Rudy. I can only imagine what position he was hoping for in a McCain administration.
Lying little weasel
Rudy, please, NO!!!!!!!
Check your ego at the door, bud, and give the folks in New York a break. Six, seven, eight years ago I thought you had potential. But your proved me wrong.
It's time to step back and just collect those big fees for giving speeches to your fellow bigoted hateful ultra-conservative Republican sheep. (BTW, I'm still trying to figure out how your ultra conservative Republican followers justify your adultery when you were married and having an affair.)
If he handles this race like his presidential run, he is a shoo-in to lose.
who would vote for this loser? he was the worst mayor ever, a wannabe dictator looking for a balcony. his marriage record alone should keep him from public office. i wouldn't vote this guy dog catcher
james from chicago, if you like him so much you should spell his name correctly and invite him to run for mayor of chicago, he'll fit right in
This one needs to go away like Palin. He has been riding on 9/11 for the past 8 years. Many of the 9/11 victims families would tell you what the real Rudy is like. Any mayor who would have been in office would have handled the whole incident as well if not better than he did. He just was "lucky" enough to be in office at the time. Shame on him for using it as a crutch for political gain. Creep.
I think Giuliani would have had a very good chance of winning a couple of years back. Now that people have had a chance to see the real Giuliani, I really don't think he stands a chance. Personally, I don't like this man and hope and hope he does not run.
I'd rather vote for spongebob and patrick
I have an idea. We send all the Republican clowns to GITMO for a thousand years.
Considering his spiteful, hate-filled language during the presidential campaign, it's hard for me to believe anyone would vote for him for any leadership position anywhere!
When Giulliani was a GOP candidate for president, his sole strategy for winning was anchored in a "humble", chest-beating slogan, 'Florida is Rudy country". Now, with his interest in the New York 2010 gubernatorial contest, he will prbabably boast, "New York is Rudy country". But there is no doubt that should he run, he will be given the same "friendly" treatment in the North, as he received in the South- which based upon his past questionable conduct, he will so richly deserve!
I live in NYC and voted for Guliani twice. And, after his complete descent into Republican Party hack will never, ever vote for him again. I watched him spread lies about 911, lies about Kerry and lies about his own affairs.
@Al, NY NY January 13th, 2009 10:10 am ET
You and your adulterous spouse can go somewhere but I won't say…..Ditto!!!****Take your Cheshire Grin To Alaska !!!
I wonder what it would take to get him to leave 9/11 out of his campaign. Nah, when you are a one-trick pony, you do what you do....
Rudy is a 911 pimp...he's totally corrupt...NO WAY!
Please don't...0
Guilinai makes about as responsible a politician as Sarah Palin does. Both are cut from the same mold in that they preach division and hate, hate, hate!

I wish there were some way to get rid of worn out has beens that don't know they are past usefulness.

Yeah, like Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, Franks... etc.
I wander which gown is he going to wear to the governor's ball?
What a drag...
Rudy?????? A Senator??????????? Or, Rudy, the Sinister. Maybe he will ask the ???Community Organizer??? what he should do. You see, the Comunity Organizer he so blatantly attempted to make a mockery of is now the President of the USA.
Rudy the "Whatever, should do nothing except sit down and shut up. If he gets bored, he can do what he always does – talk about his favorite subject – 911.
