President 2012: Rudy Giuliani to Meet with Chris Christie and Rick Perry Today
Rudy Giuliani when he endorsed soon to be elected New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in 2009
Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie, two former federal prosecutors and two similar political models, are set to have lunch Wednesday, sources confirmed.
The meeting will be on the heels of a Giuliani meeting with Rick Perry. Both men are considering a presidential run.
Christie has said repeatedly that he isn’t.
But the Giuliani and Christie meeting comes at a time when the former mayor has said he is seriously looking at his political future, and as some national Republicans are still hoping to lure the New Jersey governor into the race.
I would love to be a fly on the wall during these meetings.
But, my guess is Rudy is lining up support should Sarah Palin decide to throw her hat in the ring and divide the conservative vote in the GOP primaries. Otherwise, Rudy will be on board with either Perry or Christie should one of them decide to run and Rudy doesn’t.
Rudy would go on the stump in Florida for Rick Perry and would definitely hurt Mitt Romney there. And, could deliver a goodly number of East Coast and California GOP delegates for the Texas Governor.
Giuliani will make a terrific Attorney General or Vice President.
