Rudy Giuliani out of Senate race
Was this a surprise? No.
As recently as a week ago, a Quinnipiac University poll showed Mr. Giuliani leading Ms. Gillibrand in a hypothetical matchup, 50 percent to 40 percent.
Mr. Giuliani, whose decision to forgo a race for governor was reported a month ago, plans to endorse Rick Lazio for governor of New York on Tuesday afternoon at a news conference in Manhattan, the Republicans said. Mr. Giuliani’s intentions were reported by The Daily News on its Web site Monday evening.
Since they mention the Daily News who got the scoop.
But the former mayor has decided to stay in the private sector, where he will continue his work as a security consultant, a sometimes TV commentator and, increasingly, a celebrity draw on the GOP fund-raising circuit.
“Next year should be an interesting cycle for Republicans, and he sees it as an opportunity to engage in targeted races across the country,” said a person familiar with Giuliani’s plans.
Frankly Rudy was a non-starter. Too much baggage.
