My preference is for Senator against Crusty for a landslide. Knock her hopefully out of our lives for good. But he won't run against her - he's already said he's not interested.

Count on the press to push Giuliani for Governor so that he won't oppose Hillary for the Senate seat! </cynical mode>

No, 2008.  2012 would be the second term!

UGH!

Maybe in a poll of downstate idiots!

Here in New York, we already have one liberal Republican gun-hating idiot as Governor, we don't need another one.

Keep the liberals downstate, all NYC FReepers are welcome Upstate. Just make sure the commies don't follow you up here.

No thanks.

Would be my guess. Or an offer of a free ticket on 'Hillary Air' to the first convention.

Dude, I know you know Rudy is pro-abortion, pro gay marriage, and pro gun control. Can you not think of a single better candidate than him?

I think he is a fantastic leader and no, I can't think of any other Republican I rather have as the next President.

Why not just vote for Hillary? Their political philosophies are nearly identical. Rudy Guiliani is a charasmatic politician and a great mayor. He would be a disaterous President.

Straw man argument. I cannot have a serious conversation with you if you think Giuliani and Hillary are the same.

And I can not have a serious conversation with anybody who thinks a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and pro gun-control "Republican" is an attractive presidential candidate.
