...even if they have recently been more up for grabs than he would like to admit, it's hardly safe to assume that every one of the states Rudy mentions as gettable is at the moment available to him - or ever likely to be. The onetime New York mayor has never won a statewide race in New York, where Democrats outnumber Republicans roughly 5 to 3. In California, he would need to pick up well over a million votes from Bush's best showing there. New Jersey hasn't voted for a Republican for President since 1988, though there...
...just grouchy about stupid stuff,” said Alison G. Umminger ’92, the president of the Lampoon at the time. “Everybody wanted that tree to go.” The tree had been a favorite of Alfred E. Vellucci, a former Cambridge mayor who had suggested turning Harvard Yard into a parking lot and putting a public bathroom in the Lampoon building, according to a 1991 New York Times article.

Desperation in politics can sometimes cause a major party to look outside its ranks for a standard bearer. In the presidential election of 1812, the Federalists, the strong-government party of the founding era, backed an earlier New York City mayor, DeWitt Clinton.

Both Clintons had spent their careers opposing Federalism, attacking the Constitution when it was up for ratification and joining Thomas Jefferson's small-government...
Dobson has announced that if former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani—cousin-divorcer, pro-choice authoritarian, and most devilish papist—were to win the Republican nomination, he and a contingent of influential evangelicals would consider encouraging a man (inevitably) of better faith and adherence to the Gospels to run under the auspices of a third party. In spite of this group’s crucifix-rattling, Mr. Giuliani remains the Republican party frontrunner even in the South and even among the most devout Protestant conservatives just months before the beginning primary voting...
