In an article in The New York Times today, Danny Hakim, a political reporter for the newspaper, suggests that Rudolph Giuliani may have his eye on the governor's mansion in New York:

Nineteen months after ending his disastrous run for the presidency, Rudolph W. Giuliani is clearing a path for a possible race for governor in 2010, believing public anger at an ineffectual Albany and unease over the economy could create ideal conditions for a Republican to reclaim the governor's mansion.

According to Hakim, Giuliani has told associates that he'll make a decision in the next two months. It is unclear how he might fare in a state-wide race.
