It's the case of Guy Molinari vs. Michael Bloomberg: Former Staten Island Borough President Molinari tells the Advance he will be the "lead plaintiff in the civil action against Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who sought the extension to three terms."

With Mayor Bloomberg seemingly out of the running, state Republicans are turning their focus to Rudy Giuliani as a potential gubernatorial candidate. An adviser for the former mayor tells the Times that he and Giuliani have had a serious talk about the possibility of a 2010 run. Wanting to avoid another big loss by a little-known candidate, former State Island Borough President Guy Molinari said, "I can’t think of anyone who would be more popular than Giuliani." Many also see Governor Paterson, a relative unknown before being thrust into office after Eliot Spitzer's resignation earlier this year, as having positioned himself as a strong incumbent in a short amount of time. "It would be Luke Skywalker against Darth Vader, and the force would be with our governor,” said Assemblyman Keith L. T. Wright, a Harlem Democrat.

A close friend of Representative Vito Fossella says the troubled Congressman is far from thinking about resignation. Maybe! At first, former Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari told the Staten Island Advance Fossella "has every intention of running." But then Molinari withdrew the statement, amending it to, "I wouldn't be surprised if the ultimate decision is to run again."

Rudy Giuliani's poor showing in the presidential campaign has plenty of people giving their opinions on why it all went wrong.
