Rudy: Are you ready champ?

At a fundraiser with Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich (someone who could use a boost), Rudy Giuliani said he was seriously considering a run for President. On the back of the Bob Novak article we posted earlier, it is starting to seem more and more likely that Rudy will make the leap.

July 13, 2006 -- BALTIMORE - In one of the strongest indications he'll seek the nation's top job, Rudy Giuliani said yesterday he's "seriously considering" a run for president. He made the comment at a fund-raiser for Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich's re-election bid. He said he would continue to travel the country to gauge the breadth of his support and his ability to raise the money needed for a presidential bid. Giuliani acknowledged that in a presidential bid he would have to rally supporters in states where voters have more conservative leanings. But he said he could have a broad appeal. "Sure, there are divisions between red states and blue states, but Americans are more similar than they are different," he said.


We’ll have more on Rudy later, including something about his last trip to Iowa that sent the Cooler mixed messages. Also, watch the cooler line, because as we begin to become convinced that he’s in it to win it, he’ll shoot up the very quickly.
