So, Who Is This Loser Driving Me Around All Day ??
Word out of the Big Apple today is that Rudy Giuliani has decided to run for office in new York in 2010. Which office it was going to be was up for debate, but like the realistic and savvy guy that he is, Rudy appears to be poised to run for the GOP against short time Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Kirsten Who? EXACTLY ......
The days of Clashes of the Titans in politics is pretty much over. Rudy vs. Hillary would have been great in 2000, but it didn't materialize. Just like that, Rudy vs. Andrew Cuomo isn't going to happen either. Nope, there are plenty of reasons to see why Rudy will take on Gillibrand, and any one of them would be enough...
First off, and most importantly, Cuomo is well-respected by voters. He's been a big scumbag for the voters, and on more important issues than Craigslist or Internet Porn. OOPS! Did I just criticize someone back home? Anyway, Cuomo also has name recognition. It's easy when your Dad was Governor for 12 years. Thirdly, Cuomo has about $10 million in the bank already - WOW !! Giuliani will be starting from scratch, but he should easily be able to rack up enough to whip Gillibrand, who's most noteable achievement was being picked by a Governor with an approval rating of about 18 percent.....Remember when Jim DeMint was ranked Number 99 in the Senate Power Poll? Well, Gillibrand took over that spot - Hillary Lite, indeed..
Lastly, US Senator is way more fun of a gig than Governor of New York. Who wants to have to fight every union in the state and deal with $4 billion deficits in Albany, when you can hang out at Hewlett-Packard's annual junket in the Turks & Caicos Islands - and say 'what deficit? HAHAHA !!!' all year long? It's a no-brainer, and that's why Rudy is going the smart route - because he's a smart guy. BTW, you think he'll remember me?

Mike--sounds likes your angling for a Senate staffer positon....teg
I don't see why some in the GOP want to keep pushing Rudy. Sorry...but that America's mayor shine wore off a long time ago. Right about the time we all found out why he was walking the streets that day (the stupid decision concerning putting emergency HQ downtown), the recommendation of his buddy Bernie Keirik to Bush, the most idiotic presidential campaign strategy ever known to man (we're going to Florida!), not to mention that if saying 9/11 couldn't win him an election last time, why would it now?
Rudy is toast. Picking off the weakest Senator in the Senate may even be too much for him. But to call Rudy "smart," I've got to object. My god...he rode around with you for christ sakes.
That all may be true, but at least he didn't take any of my advice that I gave!
Seriously though, I've watched the guy for 25 years, and he's a pretty sensible guy, and he can be a prick, which is exactly what NY and DC needs
I'm not sure making Mitt Romney look like a poltical mastermind allows you to be referred to as sensible.
But as my buddy KDawg once said in reference to Rudy: "I just want to know what happend to the two gay guys and the shitzu."
