On a weekend trip to the University of Arkansas, Rudy Giuliani talked about the possibility of running for president again.
"My concern about 2012 is -- because I'm a Republican -- to make sure that the Republican party fields a candidate that can win.
And if I think that I can help by being a candidate, then that would probably persuade me to do it, but if I can help supporting another candidate, then I'd probably do that."
And there's time to figure that out. The good thing about this election -- as opposed to four years ago -- is that it's happening very slowly, so it gives you a chance to think about it -- gives you a chance to get it down to a smaller period of time so people can focus more on the issues."
In a speech in Florida last month, Giuliani laid out further criteria for a run.
“If all we are faced with are candidates that are too far right so that they can’t win the general election, then that’s when I’d reconsider doing it."

My concern about 2012 is — because I’m an American — to make sure that Obama is a one term President.

I hate to say this but even Giuliani looks good compared to Bambi or Hitlery.
She’s running, y’know.

Giuliani has plenty of issues but I seriously doubt he’s be kow-towing to Islam the way Obama has been doing since day 1.
He’d make a pretty good Homeland Security Sec in Palin’s cabinet.

Rudy was in then out so many times in the NY Senate race it was a joke. This is why there are two Dem Senators.

I am no Rudy POTUS fan but he was a damned good leader during 9/11 and he has a point. Unless Independents rally with whoever the GOP nominee is we are doomed with Obama.
If the GOP candidate is not favored by independents they will all then split off and vote for a Rand Paul.

Heck if Judy is worried about electability we can just run Obama on both tickets, as a bonus that could slow Hillary down.

Oh how I agree but the GOP is doing a shabby job all around do you think they will back Bachmann much less Palin?In the end I pray all unite behind someone that can beat Obama.

My concern about 2012 is -- because I'm an American -- is that we don't elect another socialist, big government, statist liberal, whether Pubbie or 'Rat.

We need a true conservative that can pull off the union vote (Screw Obama’s SEIU PROGRESSIVE MOB) and Ca. and pick up some in NY.
We need Reagan!
