Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is back on the trail, this time stumping for his successor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The failed Republican presidential candidate is talking up the billionaire mayor Sunday in areas of Brooklyn and Queens where he is still well-liked.

Maybe Rudy will put in a good word for Arlen Specter while he is up on that stump!

Rino’s begat liberals...begat socialists....
I remember when Rudy was everybody’s HERO! Once a friggin’ RINO.....
How can anyone criticize Rudy for helping the richest man in New York State? He wants to be Governor. Should he help his Democrat opponent?
Rudy was NEVER a hero to me! My heros respect the Constitution, absolutely!
If Rudy is really a republican he shouldn’t support either of them!
Great logo!!!!
I think this is a clear sign that Giuliani is a candidate for Governor of New York.
Bloomberg is a lifetime Dhimmicrat who plays a RINO on TV.
it is all a bunch of crap. Bloomberg is defying the law voted by the people of the city of NY for term limits...
it is all crock of $h!t.
Another worthless RINO.
“Everyone” got banned. The Romneybots are going to be even worse.
Guess Rudy finally realized what the whole country already knew...his chances of becoming president are somewhere between zero and absolutely none. Wonder how much 'ol bloomers pledged to Rudy's election campaign for governer of New York State.
What a couple of slimy snakes...a RINO and a LIBTARD.
Huh? How come Algore doesn't get that moniker, or Kerry, or Dukkakis, or Mondale, or Carter 1980 which is even more richly deserved since he was the sitting President!
Never mind .....
/sarc off
“What a couple of slimy snakes...a RINO and a LIBTARD”
Truly a pair that will beat a full house.
Pardon me for continuing to disassemble this nonsense WCBS article again, but I always heard that the outer boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens *hated* Rudy because (they said) he ignored them all in favor of Manhattan
And then the part about him being "still well liked", as if he was ever liked before? No, the liberals of this city always hated him, even when he was Mayor they hated him. They momentarily gave him some praise for 9/11, but then just as quickly gave him the middle finger soon afterwards ...
There is no honor in this cesspool ......
>>>Maybe Rudy will put in a good word for Arlen Specter while he is up on that stump
Rudy stumps for the republican candidate and we get bitchy over that ? Why ?
No doubt had he sat this out the threads would be about Rudy being a “traitor” for not supporting the party. geez
A throw away vote, or a principled vote? That is for you to decide, but there IS a third choice in New York’s upcoming Mayoral Election.

If Giuliani is not elected governor next year, the Republican party will be completely irrelevant in NY State for a generation. He can’t win without Bloomberg’s enthusiastic support in NYC. It’s as simple as that. Hate ‘em both, but hold your nose and support them anyway.
I wouldn't care, if they would keep out of national politics.
I don't know why you bother wasting your time on this website if you feel that way. 2% of our senators are from NY.
Sorry, I just can't get enthusiastic about anything that happens up there, or comes from up there.
I really don’t think he’ll run for governor. He doesn’t want to lose any prestige in the state where he was “America’s mayor”.
I do wonder, in hindsight, if Rudy would've beaten Obama.
Good question.
McCain, for his faults, has a pro-life and pro-2A record, which made it tolerable for folks (myself included) to hold their noses and vote for.
IMO, Rudy wouldn't have gotten the core conservative vote, but would have gotten the uneducated independents who just remembered him as the "9/11 guy". He probably would have picked Sanford as his running mate, as well, which would have sounded good, but look how that turned out.
Precisely the people who went for Obama.
Hindsight is 20/20. I remember back in mid '06 being absolutely certain the race would be a nailbiter between Giuliani and Hillary. I believe Rudy would've soundly beaten Obama but this would've marked the end of conservatism.
I can't tell if you are being funny, or if you are trying to make a serious point, so I will answer your post as if it were the latter. If you are mocking the title "America's Mayor," have at it. But be aware that it was the liberal press who awarded it to him, not friends of Rudy, or Republican operatives. In France, I remember, they were calling him "Rudy the Rock" after 9/11. And he deserved it. I you don't remember him doing a superhuman job of holding the city together, and indeed, easing the fears of an entire nation in the first few weeks after the attack, then your long term memory sucks.
Meanwhile, if you honestly don't think he's running, you're in pretty small company. Everyone who pays attention to NY politics (including a guy I know named Rudy Giuliani) is postive he will run. The only thing that would keep him out is if Andrew Cuomo runs, in which case Giuliani would have zero chance of winning.
“Rudy stumps for the republican candidate and we get bitchy over that ? Why ?”
Bloomberg is a Republican? Seems more a wannabe overlord with delusions of grandeur to me. Actually, that’s Rudy too.
