Mayor Rudy refuses to go away. It’s not helping that the NY GOP is so bankrupt they keep his name in circulation rather than cultivate a new generation of political leaders.
The latest news is that he’s not interested in running for Governor next year. That’s good. Now it is being reported he’s considering a run for Senate against Kirsten Gillibrand instead and there is a new Marist poll that shows he’d beat her. The only good thing about that is it would keep the equally detestable George Pataki out of the race.
New York desperately needs new political leadership, Republicans and Democrats. Right now that seems unlikely.
Lucky for Kirsten that she had an epiphany since being appointed to the Senate. Now she can apply for a job with the Wise Latina or ACORN if she loses her seat.
