New York Times:

ALBANY -- Nineteen months after ending his disastrous run for the presidency, Rudolph W. Giuliani is clearing a path for a possible race for governor in 2010, believing public anger at an ineffectual Albany and unease over the economy could create ideal conditions for a Republican to reclaim the governor's mansion.

Rudy, all you do is turn things around with a win in Florida...

You know, just like when you won the GOP Presidential nomination...

Former Mayor Guiliani, you take every opportunity to speak of your heroism on 9/11, when the real heroes are the 343 NYC Firefighters, 23 NYC Policy Officers, 37 Port Authority Officers and 2,571 Citizens of the World who gave their lives on 9/11.

Giuliani rescued the city from the clownish ineptitude of Ed Koch and David Dinkens.

Who cannot recall the graffiti, the drunken homeless in the street, the drug pushing, the open prostitution, squeegee guys, crime, potholes, unusable dilapidated parks?

When Giuliani came in murders were up to about 2,500 per year. When he left they were down to about 400-500. Other crime stats also declined dramatically.

Today you can use the parks. You can take money out of an ATM without fear of being robbed. Public transportation is not only usable but good. The taxi-cab fleet is unrivaled by any cab fleet anywhere in the world.

Before Giuliani you couldn't go to Times Square in peace. You'd be accosted by drug pushers, hookers, beggars and other unpleasantness. Today, it's gorgeous. It truly is the cross-road of the world. He set the city on its track to success that continues to this day under the competent tutelage of Mayor Bloomberg.

Overall, there has been a huge improvement and Giuliani was the man who started it all and implemented much of it. New York City is once again a decent and desirable place to live and we owe that to Giuliani.

Presently New York State is a mess. Maybe a Machiavellian-type Governor Giuliani is what we need to straighten things out at the state level.

If he does a good job I don't care about his private life.

Rudy left NYC a mess and was useless his 2nd term. Bloomberg deserves 100% of the credit for keeping NYC on a even keel, it was in spite of what Giuliani did, not because of it.

there were NEVER 2,500 murders a year in N.Y. so shut the hell up...also crime went down nation wide at the same level it did in N.Y. he had nothing to do with it
