"Confident that he'd have a chance to win, Rudy Giuliani is rounding up his top political advisers for a possible 2012 presidential run, sources tell Page Six.
Sources say the tough-talking former mayor "thinks the Republican race will be populated with far-right candidates like Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, and there's opportunity for a moderate candidate with a background in national security."
Giuliani has even scheduled a trip to New Hampshire for next month to meet with constituents in the state that failed him in January 2008, when he placed fourth in the Republican presidential primary.
Rudy GiulianiThe problem is that even Rudy loyalists think it's a bad idea. "They think this is crazy," a source said. "They realize how long the odds are, but they are standing by................"

Mitt and Huck far right? LOL, what is Rudy smoking?
ping
I was hoping he learned his lesson after the major defeat in the last election.. at least then he still was basking in his 9/11 leadership.. now he has nothing..
Sarah’s not “far right”, either. She’s right on, but not “far right”. Who’d care if she was, anyway? Rudy is a smart guy, but doesn’t seem to realize what a RINO is....
I hope he means a jog around the Tidal Basin.
Ruby Girliuni hasn’t a chance what so ever, I would support him for AJ, Myth for Tres. Sec.
RINO’s on the march.
“thinks the Republican race will be populated with far-right candidates like Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, and there’s opportunity for a moderate candidate with a background in national security.”
Good grief.
If I wanted a man that cheated on his wife and kills babies, I would vote Democrat.
Who has the new Rudy2012 Ping List, LOL???
He’d have to campaign - he forgot to do that the last time he ‘ran’.
Rudy ought to garner about 1.5% of the vote. LOL
DC run? Rudy’s running for Dog Catcher?
OH GOD HOW MANY TIMES DO THESE LOSERS HAVE TO LOSE BEFORE THEY GET A CLUE~!!!!!!!!
My prayer is that New Hampshire doesn’t screw us out of ur options like it did last election.
It is total BS that a little Yankee state like New Hampshire should be so important to our election.
Primary day should be the same day for every state in the Union.
Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas (properties for the "trade road" were obtained by eminent domain) DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide).
The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road.
Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million.
"Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."

TX governor Perry rapped for paving way for construction of Trans-Texas Corridor

Texas Governor Rick Perry is being called to task by an author and investigative journalist for vetoing bills that would have blocked construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor--- which will be part of a superhighway -- purported to be four football fields wide -- that will allow Mexican trucks to enter the U.S. and traverse the core of the country all the way to Canada.
Governor Perry cleared the way for construction to begin in Texas when he vetoed several bills passed by the Legislature that would have stalled the project. The texas Legislature voted a two-year moratorium, and voted a redefinition of eminent domain -- Perry vetoed them. [On] at least one of those measures, he waited until the Texas Legislature was out of session so it couldn't even override his veto. The Federal Highway Administration's lawyer wrote letters threatening the Texas Legislature to cut off federal highway funds if they got in the way of this Trans-Texas Corridor.
NOTEL Perry used eminent domain to take property from Texans to give to Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide)----approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Rudy Giuliani's Texas-based law firm with global connections) is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation.
Perry also endorsed Giuliani's bid for president.

In Mexico for trade talks, Perry blasts immigration policies
Houston Chronicle, Mexico City Bureau | Aug. 28, 2007 | DUDLEY ALTHAUS

MEXICO CITY — Leading a large delegation of Texas executives trying to drum up business in Mexico, Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday criticized the U.S. Congress for failing to pass an immigration bill that would legalize millions of workers. "I don't think this is that difficult an issue if Congress would have the maturity to sit down and really discuss it and cut out all the mean rhetoric," Perry said during a break in the third day of meetings with Mexican officials and business executives.

Two years later, the cheering has stopped. In January 2005, Mexico City police chief told local reporters, "I am no fan of Giuliani."
Monica Rojas, then-deputy director of the statistics department of the Mexico City police department said "The ideas and the concepts they conveyed to us, but they never explained how to achieve them." "They were not prepared, not at all," said another former Mexico police official. "They weren't consultants, they were retired policemen. And they were trying to organize another police force, but not with a methodology or a clear idea."
The biggest strike against him is he has zero chance, that’s right, zero chance of winning his home state in 2012. New York is a lock for Obama.
