The former New York mayor has been contemplating a presidential run in 2012 for some time.

During his 2008 run, Giuliani’s campaign collapsed early, and he bowed out after he finished third in the Florida primary. But recent polls show there is still some appetite for him to consider the race. In the most recent survey of New Hampshire voters, by WMUR and CNN, Giuliani tied for third place

As anti-gun as your typical New York City guy.  Basically a fiscal Conservative, not so much on the social or libertarian issues.

I like his anti crime stance/solutions and what he did for NY.  But I am here to learn so I will listen to all of you :drool:

He's definitely anti-crime, but some of his other stances are questionable, at least to me. He does carry some baggage, too.

    Born: 28 May 1944
    Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York
    Best Known As: Mayor of New York City, 1994-2001

Rudolph W. "Rudy" Giuliani was the New York City mayor who became internationally famous for his proudly defiant reaction to attacks on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. Giuliani, a 1968 graduate of New York University School of Law, began his political career in 1970 as a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney. After a period in private practice in Washington, D.C. and a stint with Ronald Reagan's Department of Justice, Giuliani was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in 1993. Aggressive and ambitious, he made headlines by prosecuting Wall Street wheeler-dealers such as Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken and Marc Rich. He ran for mayor in 1989 and lost, ran again in 1993 and won. In spite of a successful run as a tough-on-crime mayor who improved city government, Giuliani's troubled personal life and long history of political squabbles dominated the headlines in his second term. Tabloids exploited public feuds between Giuliani, his wife, Donna Hanover, and his girlfriend, Judith Nathan; a series of police brutality cases were public relations disasters; and a potential run at the U.S. Senate against Hillary Clinton was aborted when Giuliani was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

I think he might still be tired from the 2008 campaign.  He only showed up to campaign in one state (South Carolina IIRC) and then dropped out.  He thought he could sail through on name recognition only.

I think he's going to be different this time around, at least in preparation.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

I'm not sure how serious you are, but he does very much strike me as someone with the 'End justifies the means' mentality Bobby Kennedy had as Attorney General.

Not real wild about his methods either, and it seemed like his entire campaign was, "Well, back when I was mayor of New York on 9/11...."

Sorry, that ain't enough.

Based upon something I read but can't recall where, Giuliani is getting in to broadside Romney.  Full stop.
