New York State is abuzz with speculation that former New York City Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani will run for governor there in 2010.
But the "general consensus" among Republicans around the state is that Rudy won't enter the race, New York magazine reports. The chief reason: He has his eye on the White House in 2012.
The magazine observes: "Giuliani can run for governor or run for president in 2012, but he probably can't do both...
"President Obama appears to be vulnerable, and the Republican field in 2012 is open."
A political insider told New York: "Do you go to Albany in a thankless job, or do you take another shot nationally? He's aware that the Obama administration is falling apart much more quickly than anybody imagined."

It would be really, really stupid for Giuliani to run for President again. His best shot was in 2008, and he got one delegate. Nobody will give money to this guy. He needs to run for something in NYC.
The more he campaigned for 2008, the worse his support became. He was leading NH until he started campaining hard, and he dropped like craze, same way in Florida.
