Rudy Giuliani might not run for Governor of New York

Perhaps Giuliani may be considering taking a run at Kirsten Gillibrand’s senate seat instead? That would benefit the entire country if he could win that. Any Republican running against the clueless David Paterson is going to have a good shot at winning the gubernatorial race. If Hillary decides to run in 2010 instead and ditch Obama, she would probably win no matter who runs against her. It was not clear what prompted the possible decision. But the New York Times (giddy as can be that Giuliani wouldn’t run) suggests the prospect of potentially facing Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, who is quietly planning his own run for governor on the Democratic ticket, may not have appealed Mr. Giuliani.

Maria Comella, a spokeswoman for Mr. Giuliani, said Wednesday that it was “premature” to say any decisions had been made, and cited the former mayor’s statements on television last weekend.

In an interview with ABC on Sunday, Mr. Giuliani said he had not yet made his decision but said, “I will very soon.”

Those told of the decision spoke on condition of anonymity, because they did not want to speak publicly ahead of Mr. Giuliani.

The decision will be a boon to other Republican contenders. So far, Rick Lazio, a former congressman from Long Island, is the only declared candidate on the Republican side. Another much discussed potential contender is Chris Collins, the Erie County executive.
