"The fire that burns twice as bright only lasts for half as long." The mayor of 9-11-as-public-currency has seen his political check cashed. And then there's the 9-10 Rudy- the ugly divorce and the estranged son. . .look, he belongs as an ass-kicking mayor of an urban area but never seemed right on a national level. . .

He was a flop as a candidate for President, despite the initial high expectations. Why should be expect a better performance from Giuliani as a VP candidate? Besides, McCain needs to pick a candidate who will help him with social conservatives. He wouldn't bring anything to the ticket.

He may run for Governor of NY in 2010: that is a role that fits him better and that office is definitely attainable for him.

Ah...no

I'd rather have Cookie Monster next in line for commander in chief than this self-promoting, grandstanding, kook...

McCain and he are friends, but I think if it came down to it, the Arizona geezer would toss this New York shill under a bus in a heartbeat. "Big Giuli's" primary campaign was an embarrassment, and he'd be a lightning rod to the evangelical right and democrats alike.
