Rudy Giuliani for New York Governor in 2010?

Supriya Jindal, wife of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, center, flanked by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, left, and Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., take part in a campaign stop in Philadelphia, Monday, Oct. 20, 2008

Looks like Rudy will have a clear field against default New York Governor David Paterson particularly if New York City Mayor Bloomberg succeeds in his bid to change the NYC Charter and runs for a third.

Mayor Bloomberg’s bombshell decision to seek a third term in office may lead to a furious battle with his predecessor and sometime antagonist, Rudy Giuliani, according to an intriguing scenario being discussed in high-level political circles.

The first part of the scenario is widely accepted: that if Bloomberg, who has flirted with running for governor, changes the City Charter and wins a third term, Gov. Paterson is certain to run for election in 2010.

Sources close to Paterson said the governor would likely have bowed out of the race if the popular Bloomberg had decided to run for governor.

The second part involves Giuliani’s not very-well-disguised interest in becoming the Republican candidate for governor in two years - and recent polls suggest the failed presidential contender would have a good chance of defeating Paterson.

This is providing John McCain does NOT ask Rudy to be his Attorney General of the United States. Notwithstanding, Flap looks forward to many Rudy vs. Bloomberg fights in the coming years.

Stay tuned…..

Michael Bloomberg Watch: Bloomberg Leaves GOP

Posted by: Flap in Michael Bloomberg, President 2008

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg talks with reporters as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger listens, left, at a conference in Los Angeles Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Later Tuesday, Bloomberg left the Republican Party and switched to unaffiliated, a move certain to be seen as a prelude to an independent presidential bid that would upend the 2008 race. The billionaire former CEO, who was a lifelong Democrat before he switched to the Republican Party in 2001 for his first mayoral run, said the change in his voter registration does not mean he is running for president.

N.Y. Mayor Bloomberg Leaves GOP

New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg abruptly left the Republican Party yesterday, declaring himself free of a “rigid adherence” to ideology and stoking speculation that he will use his multibillion-dollar fortune to mount an independent bid for the White House.

The founder of the Bloomberg financial media empire has repeatedly denied interest in the presidency. At a technology conference yesterday in which he attacked partisanship in Washington, he said: “I plan to be mayor for the next 926 days.” But he has refused to rule out a run for the presidency, even discussing the possibility privately with close advisers and beginning to travel around the country, including a trip to the home of the nation’s first primary, New Hampshire.

Bloomberg was a RINO at BEST.

But, who REALLY cares?

Rudy and Hillary…….

Stay tuned……
