Confirming the notion that politicians need power like fish need water, former NYC Mayor and Presidential candidate (only in Florida), Rudy Giuliani (R) is “thinking about” a run for NY Guv.
This would have been unthinkable last year as he ran for the Republican nomination. Two things have changed over the course of a year: Paterson and Romney.
Gov. David Paterson (D-NY) has such dismal approval numbers that he is falling behind Rudy in polls in a heavily Democratic state. Despite coming after Spitzer, Paterson was well liked and respected. Now, he is being pushed around by the state legislature and his own party. He would be an easy target for Rudy’s vicious brand of campaigning.
Mitt Romney, the former governor of Utah with perfect hair and a Superman chin, is “exploring” a run in 2012. This means he is running in 2012, potentially against other heavy weights like Newt Gingrich and Mark Sanford Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. They are all relatively untainted in the short-term political memory of the American voter, unlike Rudy, who made such a horrible attempt at running for president that he made Fred Thompson look polished. Rudy knows 2012 could be a worse year than 2008.
So, in all, Gov. Paterson look out, here comes Rudy! Now, sir, over here, I am waiving my hand at you…over here, sir.
