He did a good job during 9/11 but he is still a RINO.
Do any of these reporters actually try to keep track of who recruits delegates? When I voted in the TN primary, Giuliani didn’t have anywhere near a full slate. That told me he hadn’t been serious about running, despite the news.
I realize that the filing deadlines can be 4 months or so before the primary. But you would think a good reporter would have figured it out in the first month.
Rudy should stick to NY politics.
Anybody got a giant fly swatter?
Rudy Guiliani has backbone. He calls evil evil and does not pussy foot around in a dangerous muddle of political correctness. He was the only New York leader to refuse to meet with terrorist master mind Yasser Arafat when the U.S. let Arafat into the U.S. Rudy said, “I will not meet with him; he’s a terrorist responsible for the mass murder of thousands.” Rudy stands heads taller than any other politician in patriotism and leadership ability. He’s make a great president, just the kind the U.S. needs now.
He has a shot. If all moderates coalesce and support Rudy.
That means zero votes for Romney and other RINOs. Barbour will also be hurt by Rudy’s move.
But he has a shot.
Me? I heart Sarah Palin, Sen. DeMint and Jindal.
No.
Somebody already said this down the thread and I’m too lazy to look. The MSM is turning to Rudy because they know that Mittens, Huckleberry, et al don’t have a chance against Palin. They are going to be running all kinds of folks out that THEY say are presidential material.
The guy we want is Chris Christie.
What a ridiculous notion. Does this idiot really think that GOP primary voters have changed so much that they would embrace a “Republican” who favors partial-birth abortion, gun control and special rights for gays?
And by that I mean not just the overt terrorists (plenty of GOP'ers including Palin and Newt have done that) but their enablers in Saudi, Kuwait, and Pakistan.
I honestly don't think you would ever see him holding hands with, much less bowing to, the Saudi scum.
There needs to be a foreign policy role for someone who has that stand. But I agree, not POTUS.
He’s a long shot, not a dark horse...I prefer him over the GOP moderates (Romney, Pawlenty,et al) and Huckleberry...the author makes an interesting point about the lessening of influence of social conservatives. On a national level, there is not much talk about abortion and the loss on DADT has set the stage for gay marriage at a national level that will be difficult to stop by 2012. If that’s the case, economy voters may outvote the social ones...regardless, I still see the GOP odds at Palin 50%, Romney 50% at this point in time...magritte
Better than Huckleberry and Romney , but thats about it.
Here is a list of POTUS candidates I googled. I don’t think Rudy even made the list.

Rudy was acceptable where he was, when he was mayor. I have no quarrel with that, if NYC selected him and he stays there. But NY isn’t America.
Same with Christie; that’s between him and Jersey.
It’s like Merkel being leader of Germany, it’s just not my concern, and anyway they don’t seem to be that bad in the niche they’re in.
But when a pro-abort, anti-gun guy wants to lead America, I have a serious quarrel with that.
If you want to see how a pro-abortion Republican fares against an Obama re-election campaign, take a look at how Charlie Baker did against Deval Patrick.
No more RINOS! Rudy Giuliani should run against Michael Bloomberg for NYC Mayor! It’s a shame that Rudy won’t do this, because, BTW, Rudy and Michael are friends (another reason to not support Rudy Giuliani for POTUS, ever!).
Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of a liberal journalist. The candidacy of any candidate in favor of abortion rights in the Republican party is DOA.
