Giuliani: Not seeking the V.P. nomination
Source: MSNBC

Former New York mayor calls McCain the 'other best candidate'


BURBANK — On his way to California on Wednesday to officially endorse Sen. John McCain, Rudy Giuliani said he was not seeking the vice presidential nomination.

The former New York mayor said "I'm supporting John McCain and he is far away the best person to be the commander in chief of the United States,” Giuliani said.

Giuliani added that the campaign had not discussed any potential role for him beyond campaigning for McCain in the Northeast.

“I am not seeking any position in government,” he said. “I am going to be a very enthusiastic and active supporter of John McCain. I have offered, anything he or his campaign believe I can do, I will do for them.”

14. Agreed & Well Said
I can see Rudy as his choice as AG or head of DHS. Rudy will have a job of some sort if he wants one in a McCain Administration, it's a matter of which one.

Maybe even head of the "Department of Remind Us About 9/11 at with every breath"

18. Your So Right....
Hucksucks will bring in the church going people and bring that "southern flair" to the ticket. I don't think it will energize the whole Repub base but it can't hurt McCain. No matter who wins the Dem nomination, the Republican ticket will be weaker then a styrofoam pinata.

6. Of course not. He has $200,000 speeches to give
If anything was obvious about Giuliani, it was that his entire campaign was planned from the very beginning as a scheme to enrich himself.

8. It ought to be fun for Rudy with the 911 folks following him arround..
that should give McCain a bump especially in Ny City where he is loved and adored. :yoiks: The Rudy bump is like the kiss of death.

10. Of Course not Rudy was never in it to be part of the Government
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 10:51 PM by Phred42
Rudy was only in it to promote his 9-11 Business. His consulting rates just tripled (guess).

Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 01:03 PM by Donk Yore

"I'm supporting John McCain and he is far away the best person to be the commander in chief of the United States,” Giuliani said.

edit: never mind! I must learn how to read and comprehend at the same time!
