    Rudy Giuliani Not Running for New York Governor Next Year

    Posted:
    11/19/09
    Former New York City mayor Rudy Guliani has decided against a run for governor of New York, the New York Times reports. The decision is a blow to Republican leaders, who saw him as a strong candidate in a race with a deeply unpopular Democratic governor.

    "It was not clear what prompted the decision, but the prospect of potentially facing Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, who is quietly planning his own run for governor, may not have appealed to Mr. Giuliani, who suffered a bruising defeat in the 2008 Republican presidential primary," the Times reports. "While many political analysts believe Mr. Giuliani would have comfortably beaten Gov. David A. Paterson, he would likely have faced an uphill battle against Mr. Cuomo, one of the most popular politicians in the state."
