He's made no indication of whether or not he's in the race, but former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani would destroy incumbent David Paterson if the New York Governor's race were held today.

Rudy holds a 54% to 32% lead over the Democrat in a new Quinnipiac poll, which most likely says more about Paterson than it does about the former Mayor.

Paterson, after all, has nightmarishly low poll numbers ... even lower than those of his disgraced predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, at his nadir.

But still, it would be quite a feat for Giuliani to vault into the Governor's office in Albany. That would give him a much more distinguished executive position, a return to national prominence, and a more complete resume.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
