I feel like I just got a Christmas present. Rudy Giuliani will announce tomorrow he's not going to run for either NY Governor or Senator.

Smart choice, we've had our fill of Rudy, but it's good to hear it from the horse's mouth.

    Gillibrand would have plastered him anyway IMO (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    Pretty easily. But Paterson isn't going (5.00 / 1) (#7)

    to win the primary and Cuomo would have beaten Giuiliani. I'm guessing Giuiliani would only run a race he was sure of winning.

    Because in a Q poll a few dyas ago, Gillibrand was trailing Thompsonl but Guiliani was wiping the floor with both of them. Guiliania would beat her 50-40, at this point.

    Gillibrand, particularly in this year, there would have been a number of factors in her favor. The big one is that Giuliani doesn't actually want to be a Senator. He would likely hate that job. He just wants power and so running that campaign, he wouldn't be able to even appear enthusiastic for actually doing the job. She's also a very strong fund raiser.
