from Real Clear Politics:
So says the New York Daily News:
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has decided not to run for governor next year – but will run for U.S. Senate instead, sources told the Daily News.
A source familiar with Giuliani’s thinking said the failed presidential candidate has been telling people he plans to run against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2010 to fill out the remaining two years of Hillary Clinton‘s term.
If elected, the source said, he could use that as a stepping stone to run for President in 2012 – rather than run for re-election to the Senate.
A spokesperson for Giuliani downplayed the story.

Hey All,
I love the words “failed presidential candidate”.
I’m thinking they wouldn’t use the same words when describing Hillary.
When do reporters stop “opining” and just report the news?

So, he wants to represent the people of New York as a stepping stone to further his personal ambitions? Nice…
