"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Here Comes The Gov?

Rudy for governor?

Rudy Giuliani is launching a new fund-raising committee to dole out cash to New York GOP candidates - a move that could help him collect political chits as he weighs a run for governor, The Post has learned.

It’s the first major political move by the former mayor since his run for president flamed out in January.

The Giuliani camp is expected to announce the creation of the committee as early as Monday. The same day, he’ll hold a small fund-raiser at the Grand Havana Room on Fifth Avenue for his existing federal political action committee, Solutions America.

Sources close to Giuliani said the state fund-raising venture is simply “him keeping his options open” for his future. But several sources say the former mayor is eyeing a gubernatorial run in 2010.

Personally, I think this is probably what he should have done before running for President-he might have had a better shot at displacing Hillary as a real Senator from New York. And what if Hillary vies for the same job? We might see what the 2008 race might have been like. Chances are it wouldn’t be pretty.
