Giuliani Preps Presidential Run: Report

Dark Horse

Hiring advisers, planning New Hampshire trip.

This can’t be true, can it? The New York Post says former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is preparing to run for president again in 2012. A source tells the Post, Giuliani "thinks the Republican race will be populated with far-right candidates like Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee, and there's opportunity for a moderate candidate with a background in national security." Giuliani is, apparently, rounding up advisers and has a trip planned to New Hampshire next month. Giuliani, for a long time considered the frontrunner in 2008, did not win a single primary. Talks of a new run, however, may just be a ploy to gin up more attention. "He has previously said he would not run again, but he wants us to think he will," a source says. "He's not being talked about among the Republican contenders, and his ego can't take that."
