Giuliani Considers NY Governor Run

The New York Post reports that Rudy Giuliani is considering a run for New York’s governor if there is a special election this fall:

“In the latest twist in New York politics, Rudy Giuliani is eyeing a run for governor in a special election this fall should Gov. Paterson be forced to resign, sources say.

A top adviser to the former mayor, who pulled the plug on his presidential bid in January, yesterday dangled the possibility of Giuliani’s running in a special election.”

Gov. Paterson has spent his first weeks in office disclosing bombshells about marital affairs and past drug use but the revelations don’t seem to have hurt him with the public.

It sounds like a lot of “if’s” have to occur for a special election to become a reality and it doesn’t look like they will happen. Nevertheless, it makes sense that Rudy is interested in running for NY governor. This may be his attempt to test the waters and try to scare off any GOP competition.

  1. Will someone please tell Rudy that NY doesn’t want him back? Really – we’re happy with our philanderers. Please go run for something somewhere else.
