Running NYC is the equivalent of being a Governor in at least a dozen states.

NYC has about the same population as the states of Georgia or North Carolina.

It would rank as the 10th or 11th most populous state.

When you consider the budget of NYC, and the responsibilities of the office of Mayor, such as running the Police Dept, Fire Dept, Schools, Hospitals, Sanitation, Higher Education (Colleges, Junior Colleges, Universities, Medical schools), it is more like running an entire country.

Rudy has earned a reputation as a gun-grabber. In Florida, that makes him dead meat in the Republican Primaries.

Maybe we should then draft Mike Bloomberg for VP.
