The real Rudy Giuliani can revive N.Y.
NY Daily News ^ | September 02 2008 | REIHAN SALAM

When Rudy Giuliani addresses the Republican National Convention as expected Wednesday night, it might be his last big moment in the political spotlight.

It doesn't have to be. With New York State's gubernatorial race coming up in 2010, Giuliani has a rare chance to make up for his mistakes since leaving office. Instead of just making money, Giuliani can make a difference by helping to revive the GOP as a truly national party. More importantly, he has the chops and the experience to reform Albany and deliver New Yorkers the smarter, more responsive, more effective government they deserve.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, it's important to face up to the sad fact that Giuliani ran one of the worst presidential campaigns in modern American history. He squandered an early lead and a sterling reputation as a pragmatic problem-solver by running a paint-by-numbers campaign designed to please inside-the-Beltway ideologues.

For New York's sake, I hope he would consider serving as the Governor of New York as well. We need him again, not someone like Bloomberg.

Governor Giuliani sounds “just right”. Would make me proud to be a New Yorker...the first time in a long time...

I detest “controllers” and “nanny-staters” myself. Bloomberg is not a leader.

“Governor Giuliani” sounds wonderful to me, and I'm from Ohio. He is a great communicator and manager and leader.

He might as well run for governor. NYC doesn’t want him back, so he might as well go to Albany.

the thing i really cannot stand about Bloomberg is his “i jump parties to suit my political skin, screw conviction”
he is slime
that being said if it was just him vs. the current gov or hillary i would hold my nose and vote for him
luckily i live in NH and do not have this problem :)
