"America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani is reportedly seeking to give new life to his national profile by running for president in 2012.
The New York Post reports Friday that the former New York City mayor "is rounding up his top political advisers for a possible 2012 presidential run" in a move that includes plans to do some preliminary canvassing in New Hampshire.
Sources told the Post that Giuliani "thinks the Republican race will be populated with far-right candidates like Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, and there's opportunity for a moderate candidate with a background in national security."
According to The Post's contacts, however, many see this potential move as a pointless endeavor driven by Giuliani's ego. "They think this is crazy," one person told The Post. "They realize how long the odds are, but they are standing by."
