Giuliani Decides Against a Run for the Senate (DAVID M. HALBFINGER, 12/22/09, NY Times)

Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani has decided not to run for the Senate seat held by Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Republicans briefed on his decision said Monday evening. [...]

As recently as a week ago, a Quinnipiac University poll showed Mr. Giuliani leading Ms. Gillibrand in a hypothetical matchup, 50 percent to 40 percent.

When the tide builds even guys like Al D'Amato and George Pataki win, but Rudy would have made it a safer race.
