I agree with you that Governor may be more fitting (since he's proven himself as a master cleaner of fiscal and law enforcement messes during his tenure as Governor of a city that is larger than a handful of states), but I'm afraid he's too well connected to the powers that be to take on the heir apparent Cuomo. I think should Guliani knock out Gilibrand (and this is again a big if.....it's still a year away and it's still New York), we would see a fitting moderate Republican, not turncoats like Collins and Specter. Tough on crime, terrorism and fiscal issues but soft on social issues....and frankly, I could see Guliani playing the middle to the benefit of conservatives on some issues surrounding abortion (as in I think he'd back the Stupak amendment), but the million dollar question for Rudy! will be on guns. Still, a win will be a win in New York. Think Al D'Amato take 2, with a less than severe case of foot in mouth.
