Giuliani Eyes Presidential Bid — If Palin Runs Too
WSJ ^ | 1/21/11 | Dan Yadron

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he is “more likely” to run for president in 2012 if former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin makes a bid, according to snippets from an interview to air on CNN Monday night released on Twitter.

“The more Republicans in which I can show a contrast, probably the better chance, the better chance that I have,” Mr. Giuliani is quoted as saying on CNN host Piers Morgan’s Twitter account. “My one chance, if I have a chance, is that I’m considered a moderate.”

The implication being that Ms. Palin, a tea party favorite, is not a moderate.

Ms. Palin, Sen. John McCain’s running mate in 2008, is widely assumed to be readying a run at the presidency next year. But only 27% of Americans have a positive impression of her, an all-time low, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released this week.

This doesn’t make Giuliani look good.

Rudy isn’t even a moderate. Besides, his feet are too big.

She says she’s waiting to see if any conservatives will run, and he’s waiting to see if a conservative will run.

Rudy may be a moderate. But, he accomplished more conservative ends as Mayor then any Country Cluber did ever.

Interesting hypothesis, to split the RINO vote, but what did Mittens ever do to place Rudy in a place where he'd want "to get back at Romney"?

Don't bother him.

He doesn't know that Palin’s title is Governor Palin.

It’s too bad, as he was an excellent Mayor.

Why are there no "moderate" DemocRATS? All we get are a bunch of commie radical 'RATS. And they can win.

It's too bad "Republicans" are expected to be "moderates" if they want to win. I'm voting for Palin in 2012. Even if I have to write her in. The "moderates" can KMA.

I can’t put my finger on it, but I faintly remember some jostling during the 08 primary... didn’t Romney basically take Giuliani out on Super Tuesday?

Giuliani didn’t make any of his supporters from the 2008 election look good either. Because of his early decision to drop out many of us had signs on our lawns for a candidate that decided to be a quitter.

I think Rudy would make an excellent Attorney General.
