"I hope Rudy runs for the Senate rather than the Presidency. Its a big leap to go from mayor to President...try something in between."
I would generally say yes but NYC I think is an exception. NYC has a population larger than 41 of the 50 states and the Mayor of NYC has alot of responsibility. It didn't earn the reputation of being the "second toughest job in America" for nothing.
I don't think Giuliani would dare run for senator, for he has little faith that he could defeat HRC. He must think that his chances are greater for the presidency. Maybe he just doesn't want to associate with the likes of the current members of the Senate, and that is understandable.
