Dear deport,
The idea that Mr. Giuliani may run as an independent may have come from an article in New York's Newsday. The paper reported that Mr. Giuliani, in filing his form FEC 1, declaring that he is exploring a run for the presidency, didn't indicate a party affiliation.
When asked, his campaign said that this wasn't an oversight.

I suspect that was the source of the speculation.....
He also took pains to put to rest any questions that he would seek office as an independent.
"I'm running as a Republican,"he told reporters. "I'll run in the Republican primaries, and if I get selected, wonderful, and if not, I'll support the Republican candidate."
Giuliani's party affiliation was left off the paperwork for his presidential exploratory committee, Newsday reported Thursday. Initially, a Giuliani lawyer said the campaign made a judgment that it didn't need to list the party -- but Giuliani said Saturday it was an omission that needed to be corrected.
A Giuliani aide late Saturday released this statement: "Upon review, while this omission was understandable, it was an omission nonetheless. This has been corrected on the now-available form," filed Jan. 31, which lists REP for Giuliani.Amended FEC FORM 1
