Rudy Giuliani Stretches It Out
Yesterday the Daily News seemed to suggest that a run for Senate by Rudy Giuliani was pretty much inevitable. Today? Not so much. The former mayor is now just "mulling" such a bid, the paper reports before going on to quote several of his aides who say the ex-mayor "is not particularly tempted by any public office."
As one top lieutenant points out, "He's already got a bully pulpit, without having any of the headaches [of elected office]." Possibly a more important consideration for the former mayor and failed presidential candidate: If he runs for elected office again, he'll have to give him all those lucrative speaking gigs and contracts advising sketchy companies and foreign nations. Either way, Rudy seems intent on delaying a decision for as long as possible. The Daily News reports he's now heading to Florida for a four-day weekend, so you can count on another annoying round of speculation to kick off again next week.
