Rudy Giuliani... in 2012?

While the media devotes ink to whether Sarah Palin has a shot in 2012, we noticed something fun(ny): Rudy Giuliani has a JoinRudy2012.com website. There's not much there, aside from having visitors contribute, but it looks like our former mayor might be keeping his options open!

However, given the rumors that NY State Republicans may want him to run for Governor, RudyforGovernor.com and GiulianiforGovernor.com aren't available (but JoinRudy2010.com is). Still, NYers are split: One woman told Politicker NY, when she saw Giuliani's visage on election night, "Boo. Boo! He couldn't run for dog catcher," while one Queens woman, seeing Giuliani campaign for Serphin Maltese (who lost his State Senate seat), admitted “I wish you were running for president."

He is a drag queen.

Rudy wore out his welcome with his performance on 9/11. And then we found out how he fucked up NYC leading up to that.

He is scum—your daughter's crab infestation, your son's homo date-raping, your wife's breast cancer, and your drunk driving rap all rolled into one unctious ex-combover fucktard.

Giuliani aka Bat boy!

You ungrateful lil hipsters don't remember the Dinkins years to appreciate what Rudy Ghouliani did for the City of New York. I know you would all prefer a rock star for a mayor but I wish we could make it Ghouliani time right now.

He hasn't been able to make it out of Republican primary season in the past and I don't expect he'll be able to in the future. Too bad because he's closer to the type of person the country could use at the forefront of the Republican Party than, say, Caribou Barbie.

Because it has not been said enough, GO THE HELL AWAY, already.

Seriously, GO, GO NOW and don't let the door hit you in the ass.

this has got to be an early April Fools joke.

no one in their right mind would even consider this joker for any public office.

to quote Biden: I can see his campaign slogan now..... "noun, verb, 9/11"

Zombie!!!! Get away from my brains!

I've grown to loathe him.

babyhitler

everytime I see him now all I see is him effetely sniffing the air and saying "cosmopolitan" from the GOP convention.

I'm not so sure that joinrudy2012.com isn't just being held by a domain speculator. Every link directs simply to a page at joinrudy2008.com, which could be done if it were legit but would be an odd approach to take. Also, as can be seen in the above screenshot, the image still says "www.joinrudy2008.com".

But more importantly the registrant information for the 2008 site is public:

Registrant:

Rudy Giuliani Presidential Campaign

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)

Domain Name: JOINRUDY2008.COM

Domain servers in listed order:

NS1.UPSTREAMCOMMUNICATIONS.COM

NS2.UPSTREAMCOMMUNICATIONS.COM

The 2012 site's registration info, though, is hidden by proxy... which isn't an approach that a campaign would be likely to take. Further, the two sites are on different networks; that is, two different web hosting companies.
