WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- New York City on Monday failed before the U.S. Supreme Court to revive a lawsuit it filed against the gun industry. New York sued several gun manufacturers in 2000, arguing the companies violated a state public nuisance law with their marketing and distribution of the firearms products they sell. Among the companies sued were Beretta USA Corp., Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. (SWHC), Colt's Manufacturing Co. LLC, Sturm, Ruger & Co. (RGR) and Glock GmbH. A federal law enacted in 2005 sought to shield gun makers from lawsuits like the one New York filed, prompting a federal...

The latest Marist Poll shows that just 26% of New York voters think Gov. David Paterson is doing either an excellent or good job in office. That's a drop of 20 points since the end of January. In fact, Paterson's approval rating is the lowest any New York governor has received in the poll's nearly thirty year history. In a general election match up, Rudy Giuliani (R) crushes Paterson 53% to 38%. The two were in a statistical tie two months ago. In a Democratic primary, Andrew Cuomo also crushes Paterson 62% to 26%. However, Cuomo would defeat Giuliani 56%...

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani sits down with NewMajority.com's John Avlon to discuss what needs to change for the Republican Party and how it can prevail in the next election.

Rudy Giuliani analyzes the reason the Republican party is losing in recent years and what it can do to enlarge it's base. Stressing the importance of big tent politics and under-emphasizing social issues. In any case, the economy is the main reason McCain lost, but other social issues have also created a bad stereotype of Republicans in general.

Rudy Giuliani said Sunday he will consider running for governor of New York and isn't ruling out a second attempt at the U.S. presidency. A one-time presidential front-runner and former mayor of New York City, Giuliani dropped out of the race for Republican nominee in January after losing the primary in Florida, where he had poured the bulk of his campaign resources. "No one knows whether you'll do something again until you come to the point of: 'Is it possible to do it again? Would you have a chance of winning?"' he said of a second White House bid following...

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a potential 2010 gubernatorial candidate, is being urged to take over the state GOP after a disastrous election that cost Republicans control of the Senate, insiders told The Post. At the same time, current state GOP Chairman Joseph Mondello, the Nassau County leader widely criticized as ineffective and out-of-touch, is being encouraged to step aside, and is expected to do so by the end of the year, the insiders said. Giuliani has been told that he has just a few weeks to fill a leadership void that could result in the party splintering into Long Island...

PATERSON WOULD BEAT RUDY: POLL By FREDRIC U. DICKER, State Editor ALBANY - Gov. Paterson's tough talk about slashing state spending in the wake of the Wall Street meltdown is paying off. A poll out yesterday gave him a record-high approval rating -and showed he'd beat former Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a gubernatorial election. The Siena College survey, however, found Paterson would lose a one-on-one contest to Mayor Bloomberg, but such a race would be tighter than previous polls have shown. The new poll found that New York voters, by 62 to 19 percent, have a favorable impression of Paterson,...

You’re not going to believe this one. Newsweek reporter Michael Hastings, while covering the presidential campaign, entertained fantasies about “taking out” Rudy Giuliani. And now he’s talking openly about it, and about his underhanded dealings with the John McCain campaign, as he pretended to be friendly and sympathetic while looking for every negative angle possible. He doesn’t even seem to be self-conscious about revealing what a dishonest, biased scumbag he is. HACK: CONFESSIONS OF A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN REPORTER. The reality is: I quickly realized Rudy was a maniac. I had a recurring fantasy in which I took him out during...

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani today raised doubts about Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden's own trust in Barack Obama; "He seems to be predicting some very serious incident that’s going to take place and he seems to think that the reaction isn’t going to be the right one," Giuliani said in a conference call with reporters. "This is an extraordinary statement." Obama's runningmate doesn't think he's ready to be president. The campaign used the opportunity with reporters and Biden's comments to further its contention that Obama was not ready to lead and referenced Biden's own comparison of...

ALBANY — Two words seem to be on the minds of many top New York Republicans these days: Governor Rudy. Rudolph W. Giuliani, since his bracing defeat in the presidential primaries, has kept himself busy as one of Senator John McCain’s most active surrogates. But he is also said to be mulling over a political consolation prize: a run for governor in 2010. A number of state party officials and strategists said the former mayor would almost certainly be the Republican front-runner, so long as Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg does not change his mind and his party affiliation again. Many...

MANCHESTER-- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani credited John McCain with helping to rally Republican support for the financial bailout legislation that failed in the House of Representatives. Giuliani made the comments while campaigning in New Hampshire for Executive Councilor Ray Wieczorek (R-Manchester).

Apoplectic journalists have spent more than a week now howling with indignation at GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's belittling of Barack Obama's so-called community organizing. To recap, she accepted the veep nod quipping, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities." Neither Palin nor ex-NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, who made similar comments, attacked the honorable American tradition of volunteerism, but the media reacted as if their comments were somehow un-American. Pious liberal muckrakers ferociously attacked Palin and Giuliani, excoriating them for grinding one of their sacred cows into hamburger....
