Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said Thursday that he has not ruled out running for governor or president, but he offered no specifics on what his political future might hold.
"I haven't ruled it out and I haven't ruled it in," a relaxed-looking Giuliani said Thursday at a news conference to announce a venture with a big Texas law firm. "I don't know the answer to that until the future."
Giuliani, whose political stock soared as he led New York through the horror of the Sept. 11, 2001, assault on the World Trade Center, is a leader in national polls for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. Politicos also are raising the possibility that Giuliani may have his sights set on the governor's mansion next year.
At a Westchester County Republican fund-raiser later Thursday, Giuliani gave a speech in which he praised President Bush and Gov. George Pataki, saying the GOP is "the party that spreads freedom a little bit more." He refused to take questions from reporters.
Giuliani announced Thursday that he will open a New York office for the 60-year-old Texas-based law firm Bracewell & Patterson, which has been renamed Bracewell & Giuliani.
"For me it's returning to my roots," said Giuliani, 60, who began his career as a lawyer. "People who know me are not surprised. They know how much I enjoy practicing law and how much I have missed it."
Why do you say that? A New York pol with something to hide? Why I've never heard of such a thing...
RUN (for Senate vs. Hitlery) RHINO-RUDY... RUN!!!
His duty to the country is to take out Hillary in 2006. If she is tossed out of the Senate, we can start to breathe a bit easier.
Regards, Ivan
Forget it Rudy. If you want to actually win a race and serve, run for Governor of New York State.
Ugh.
RUN (for Senate vs. Hitlery) RHINO-RUDY... RUN!!!
SHOULD have been RINO-Rudy, although, besides just being a gun-grabbing, gay-loving, pro-death Peoples Republic of NYC bureaucrat, he is also apparently a horny cross-dresser.
Oh. Whatever. Same basic thing.
If memory serves, it's called the Inner Circle. NYC's version of the Gridiron. Yes, same basic thing.
