New York State is abuzz with speculation that former New York City Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani will run for governor there in 2010.

But the "general consensus" among Republicans around the state is that Rudy won't enter the race, New York magazine reports. The chief reason: He has his eye on the White House in 2012.

And, as I always ask in such cases:

For which party?

I’d sure rather have Rudy as POTUS than the Kenyan Usurper.

He ruined his chances permanently by trying to win the Presidential primary by campaigning in ONE single state!

RINOs are politically harder to kill off than stinkin’ vampires.

I like Giuliani. He was a great mayor. New York should draft him for mayor again.

Rudy? Didn’t he end up with less delegates than Duncan Hunter by the time he pulled out of the race?

He should stick to NY. Governor or US Senator.

Agreed - I think he should have run in 2006.

The Huckster also supported cap-and-tax.

The Huckster also supported Big Government from cradle to grave.

The Huckster is a Marxist in Republican clothing, just like Juan McQueeg, Myth Romney, and Rooty Frooty Ghouliani.

The New York Times picked the Republican nominee in 2008 and then threw him under the bus. Don't let them pick our nominee in 2012.

Is any Republican with any chance of winning actually running in 2010 against either Schumer and the woman who was appointed to replace Hillary? I know both US Senate seats are up for election in 2010.

He would have to be a fool to do that after his disastrous showing last time. He should do something positive and run for Governor, at least it’s something he could win, and a job badly in need of credible leadership.

Pataki could take out Gillibrand. Nobody will take out Schumer, that trash will hold the seat for as long as he wants it.

Thank you for her name: Gillibrand.

Pataki would suffice.

Havn’t we seen this title before a couple of times over the last couple of weeks? Except they keep changing the RINOs name. Was Romeny, then the Huskster, now Rudy.

The MSM is trying to stear our course.

The time has come and gone when the media, bloggers, and posters on chat forums select our next candidate.

Guilliani would be an ideal governor for New York State.

Be interesting to see him take on Holder in a debate. That would be a smack down match with a Guilliani win.

BTW, Have you noticed how Libertarians and others third party members are hitting the phone lines?

We broke away from GOP because of blah, blah, blah.

They helped Obama win the election.

He doesn’t want to take on Andrew Cuomo and lose.

I may be optomistic but I’m sure we can find someone else out of 300 million people that has a true interest in this country.

Rudy could be that man, but again he may be deluding himself about the White House.

A pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-illegal immigrant control freak fascist from Lawn Guyland who some on this site seem to think is "tough" because of the fact that they sheepishly hang on his every word when they watch Fox News.

I really wish this annoying statist twit from Lawn Guyland would just GO AWAY!

Ah yes, when all else fails, just blame it on the Libertarians.

I find it funny how so-called conservatives can deride non-Republicrats as "kooks" and insignificant yet then turn around and blame them for bringing down the GOP.

WILL FR EMBRACE SOCIALISM TO MAKE WAY FOR RUDY GIULIANI AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?

Strange...The word “kooks” was not mentioned in the post.

IIRC, A power house conservative talker referred to the third parties as the one percenters that helped elect Obama.

I find it hard to believe he would seriously consider another run for the GOP nomination considering his flame out last time. There's no way GOP voters will nominate a pro-abortion candidate. Surely he must have learned that much.

Rudy is a 100% New Yorker: go for the Gov. or the US Senate.

Wait long enough, we’ll see every name that ever failed to win brought up as our next great hope.
