Michael Crowley has a lengthy, must-read on Rudy Giuliani's state of mind and the political climate helping to shape it.
The take-away is that, as many have begun to expect, Rudy's heart isn't in a gubernatorial bid, because he feels it's beneath him.
Rudy, himself.
“It is a valid question. Can a governor make a difference, and how much of a difference?"
And then there's Conservative Party Chairman, Mike Long's take.
“I’m not trying to rain on his parade, but I don’t see any parade. I can’t find a Republican statewide who says, ‘I spoke to Rudy, and he said he’s gonna do this.’
Of course, cynicism might say Rudy's playing the reluctant savior, but who wants to set up superhero headquarters in Albany?
