Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, has begun a string of public appearances starting in the first primary voting state of New Hampshire leading to speculation he may run again for president in 2012.
Mr Giuliani, who acknowledged the flaws of his 2008 campaign, said he was not convinced that any of the declared Republican contenders could defeat Barack Obama.
"These are a lot of qualified people," he said. "Do they have a good chance of winning? I don't know the answer to that."

He ruled out any decision before the end of July and said his timeline is late August or early September. He argued that he still has the drive to extend his political career.
"I have a tremendous fire for more public service," Mr Giuliani, 67, said. "That's something that I feel sort of incomplete about."

Maybe he can peel away some of the Romney vote.
Though, I must say, I would take Rudy in a heartbeat over Mitt.

Fergit it Rudy. You don’t have a head of hair and nice teeth. Them’s the requirements to have any chance of winning.

I've read there's no love lost between Romney and Rudy. I thought he considered running in NH to be a spoiler and bring Romney down. Don't ask for links, I couldn't tell you where I'd read it, only off a Drudge link to the best of my recollection.

Rudy: join the race! You are the perfect left-wing RINO this party needs. Also remember to crease your pants.

Give it a rest, Giuliani. Don’t distance yourself from what grace you may have left. If you’re burning for public service, get to work with one of the many charities out there, or even more so if you’re already doing that. Write and lecture if you like, but don’t run.

Who would be stupid enough to donate to a Rudy campaign for president in 2012 after seeing what he did in 2008?

Giuliani was a great NYC Mayor, but has zero chance of getting the Republican nomination. RG is hard-core pro-abortion; he even came out against the ban on partial-birth abortions.

Cool! Obama could use a primary challenger.
What?
He'd be running as a Republican?
