State GOP Wants Rudy

Unhappy with last week's elections which saw the Republican majority in the State Senate disappear, the State GOP is reportedly eager to be led by Rudy Giuliani. Insiders tell the Post's Albany bureau chief Fred Dicker that current GOP Chairman Joseph Mondello, "widely criticized as ineffective and out-of-touch, is being encouraged to step aside, and is expected to do so by the end of the year." Former State GOP Chairman William Powers said, "The party needs strong leadership, that's for sure." And that's the name of Giuliani's book! John Faso, who ran against Eliot Spitzer in 2006, said, "A lot of people are talking, saying we definitely need a change." And Giuliani is also being asked to run for governor in 2010, if can believe the other chatter.

Newsflash: the republican base hates Giuliani. Dude is as liberal as it gets.

when was the last time Giuliani was right about anything? why would you want him on your team, even from a purely practical/power-hungry standpoint?

GOOD.
It's time for another humiliating beating for Rudi.

There's too much dirt on Giuliani for him to become governor.

Apparently the state GOP wants to lose?

His experience prosecuting the mafia is perfect for taking on the crooks in Albany. I didn't give a rat's ass about his personal life when he was making NYC liveable for decent people again, I don't care about it now.

Genius move by the GOP. Go from ineffective to douche bag.

"His experience prosecuting the mafia is perfect for taking on the crooks in Albany."

LOL!!! Yeah, he and his buddy Bernie Kerik sure are full of non-corruptyness. Ides, you are a barrel of laughs.

But on a serious note, can someone please run Rudy over with a bus already? This man is a living breathing turd.

NEWSFLASH: NYS republicans have very little in common with the "republican base"

I'd vote for him again in a second. New York state is in the shitter and its because of the bloated government, taxes, and regulations.

Take a trip upstate sometime and see what the rest of the state looks like when they don't have the financial industry as a crutch. With the financial services industry in a collapse, it might just be a look into the future

Newsflash: NYS republicans are dicks! Giuliani was good cause he was hungry, he wanted to be mayor and was a hard worker. Now, he's just living off campus speech money. He's soft now. Clubber Lang will kick his ass. He needs to go into the russian wilderness and drag some logs with chains around if he ever wants to get back to his DA days.

Wow, I actually agree with Ides of March on this one.

Apparently the Rudy can't take a hint. GO AWAY you corrupt politician you!

In the Kingdom Of The Blind, the one-eyed wonder worm is King.

#7 most of those cases prosecuted by Guilaini were overturned on Appeals
