Wow. This is HUGE news. Only Giuliani and Pataki have the ability to knock off Kirsten Gillibrand. I know folks around here have had their hangups with Rudy in the past, but I will whole-heartedly support him in a run for the senate in NY.

[Sacajaweau]

Terrific....

I really think Lazio has a shot at Governor at this point.

[Vigilanteman]

Good for Rudi! I wish him well. He’ll probably vote only a little better than Arlen Specter in his pre-turncoat days, but he’s about the best they can expect to come out of a statewide election in New York.

[Antoninus]

He should have done this in the last go-round with Hillary.

As it is, I wouldn't vote for Rudy. Just another undependable RINO who will bolt the second we need him most.

[Cheetahcat]

I agree now that PIAPS is gone there can be sanity brought back to the Senate in 2010.

[VRWCmember]

I agree that Guiliani would be a reasonably good choice for the Senate. I’d be a little concerned that he might return to his gun-grabbing ways, but he would probably be around 60% to 80% good in the senate — a heckuva lot better than anything we’ve had out of New York in a long time.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Great, we can have another Rudyite purge... that was fun < /s>

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

Good luck to him...Lots of people on this FR don't like him...But at least he doesn't hate his country and he wont sell his country to any foreigners... He would have done better than stuttering porky pig mcain

[Buckeye McFrog]

he’d be one more vote to filibuster Obamaism, so I’m all for it

[RetroSexual]

Apparently, it’s a myth that they instinctively stomp out fires.

[tioga]

I will vote for Rudy for Senator. I like him better than Pataki for the position.

[Parley Baer]

Considering this is NY it is a good choice. He will have my support. We have the same problems here in California.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No more RINOs.

[depressed in 06]

Why is Schumer so safe in New York? I am mystified why the worst Senator is not vulnerable.

[Landru]

"Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has decided not to run for governor next year - but will run for U.S. Senate instead, sources told the Daily News."

I think Rudy's a good fit as a senator, and New Yorkers will have a proven New Yorker they can vote for.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

He will win!....

[BibChr]

Which party?

[jpl]

I expect him to do about as well as he did in his last couple of campaigns.

I like Rudy, but let's face it: he peaked fifteen years ago when he got the scum off the streets of New York City, and it's been mostly downhill from there.

[Man50D]

The always reliable sources. I’ll only believe it when he makes the announcement.

[COUNTrecount]

...Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2010 to fill out the remaining two years of Hillary Clinton's term.

Kirsten will suddenly step down to "spend more time with her family" and Hillary! will take her place. NO WAY the Demons will let that seat be lost.

[ScottinVA]

Rudy could’ve won in 2000. Lazio’s probably a decent enough guy, but there was too much of a wimp factor at work and he could never get traction against the Hilldabeast.
