I thought Giuliani was too sick to continue in public office, which is why he backed out of the senate race, handing it to hillary?

I posted on FR that someone I know sat in on a meeting with David Rockefeller and Giuliani, where Rockefeller told Giuliani to back out of the race, the seat was hillarys. This took place in November of 1999. Lo and behold, Giuliani backs out in March of 2000, citing prostate cancer, and that his weakened health forbade him from pursuing the senate. Yet today, he looks fit as a fiddle, and now wants another term as mayor.

I do not have much of an opinion about Rudy G., but I just wonder, again, what happened to the poor health that kept him from running for the Senate? Frankly, when I was told of the Novemeber meeting, I could not believe it. It blew me away when Rudy backed out.

It is a crazy story how I had become associated with this guy. Our paths have since diverged. I learned a lot from this guy. He confirmed everthing I suspected. Most of what I talk about on this site is a combination of my study of history, direct experience in the market, and the conversations I had with this client.

It was my understanding that Rudy's health concerns were not long-term .... the prognosis was quite good. It was that he needed to make decisions and have treatment during the height of the campaign .... and he felt that taking care of his health was the number one priority. I'm not an expert on the subject and did not sleep in a Holiday Inn last night, so someone else may have a different take on it.

Were I not aware of a somewhat similar circumstance, I'd probably find it really hard to believe what you just posted. My parents know a man who has shared a lot of what really goes on in high politics. This man was in a meeting in New York at some point prior to the first time Clinton was "elected" President (it may have been before Clinton even ran, I can't recall). It seems that there were some Rockefellers there. At any rate, at the end of the meeting everybody was told to shake hands with the next President of the United States, whose position had just been bought - Bill Clinton. (I've read somewhere on the Net that Bill's actual father is one of the Rockefellers, either John II or John III, I think. However, I have not taken the time to try to confirm it.)

You are quite the propagandist. We all know that Mayor Giuliani had just been diagnosed and that it was uncertain how serious it was and how any treatments would affect him (common sense, of course, would tell one that as well). When you are just diagnosed with such a thing you don't know what the future will hold. Just because he is fit as a fiddle now doesn't mean he could have known that last year. Moreover, that is irrelevant---a major disaster has occurred to his city and he wants to help it recover. His health (unless very serious in deterioration), is, of course, not relevant to the disaster which has occurred. You are attempting to portray Guiliani as just wanting to extend his term for the heck of it. It's possible, I guess, you haven't been following the news lately...so just in case, on Sept. 11 of this year, a terrorist attack leveled the World Trade Center towers, in what can only be described as a massive disaster in the history of his city and for the country as a whole. That's why he may want to have a longer transistion period, in case you missed it.
