Giuliani Mulls Another Presidential Bid

Run Rudy Run? Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is getting set to vie for the Republican presidential nomination again in 2012, Politico reports, citing the New York Post. Presumably the post-9/11 hero is aware of the fact that he got obliterated in his 2008 bid for the office.

The Post reports that Giuliani is upbeat about his prospects and is meeting with advisers and planning trips to key states as he decides what to do. Newsmax contributor Dick Morris and others have noted that few presidential candidates tire of running for the office.

Asked about the Post report on MSNBC, Giuliani said, “Of course I keep in the back of my mind” the possibility of running again. “I may be going. I go to New Hampshire a lot, but I don’t have anything scheduled right now,” he says.

Giuliani “thinks the Republican race will be populated with far-right candidates like Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee, and there’s opportunity for a moderate candidate with a background in national security,” a source told the Post.
