The Shark Tank was hinting yesterday about a major endorsement to come next week, although I wasn’t sure if that was an April Fools joke or not. And if it wasn’t, I figured the obvious suspects were Palin or, more importantly, Jeb Bush.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will campaign with Senate candidate Marco Rubio.

In a statement released by the Rubio campaign, Giuliani said, “Marco Rubio is one of the Republican Party’s true rising stars. He’s a bold leader who will bring common sense to Washington where it’s badly needed.”

This is the “BIG!!!!!!!!!” endorsement????? that was touted so much this morning???
Maybe it means more than it would here in New York/N.J.
Don’t get me wrong, Rudy was a great mayor, he’s a very good speaker and promoter of good causes; but he and Pataki left a legacy of personal influence-building that did diddley-squat for party building in NY over the life of their terms.
If he’s such a big endorsement, why is he not a candidate for U.S. Senate in NY (and why is Pataki suggesting HE is?).
I guess I’m ignoring all the snowbirds in Florida.
Consider he’s making the announcement in South New York and it isn’t so strange.
Looks like Good Time Charlie’s back-stabbing chickenssss are coming home to roooooosssst!
