Rudy Can Fail, January 30: In 2007, former mayor Rudy Giuliani was the Republican candidate that everyone thought be on the 2008 presidential ticket. But his presidential campaign never seemed to get off the ground, as his campaign decided to hold off on campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire, counting on winning big in Florida ...only to come in third there and drop out of the race the next day—and endorse John McCain. Perhaps Vice President-elect Joe Biden's 2007 words about Giuliani—stuck, but he may be back to run for NY Governor... or President again.






Every day I give thanks that my wife and kids are healthy and I still have a desk waiting for me. Good luck to you all in 2009!
Thank you for a Year in Review that didn't make me want to barf. Here's to 2009!
You missed the best story of the year... How can you not include the President's near death by shoe? Love him or hate him that had to be one of the top three by my estimate.
