Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, encouraged by many Republicans to run for governor in 2010, is instead leaning toward a run for U.S. Senate, according to two party advisers.
"From staff, we have been hearing that he has been indicating quietly and privately recently that governor might not be the best fit for him now," one adviser said Thursday. "But the U.S. Senate could be a perfect fit for him."
The adviser noted that nobody is saying Giuliani has decided, but it "certainly sounds" like he is less interested in running for governor. Another adviser echoed that.
The advisers spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak for the state Republican Party or Giuliani.
The New York Times, citing unidentified people told of the decision, reported Thursday that Giuliani, 65, wouldn't run for governor after months of considering it.
Giuliani spokeswoman Maria Comella disputed that report, saying he told her Thursday that he hadn't made a decision.
"When he comes to that decision he'll let everyone know," Comella said. Asked whether that meant Giuliani was still considering a run for governor, she said: "Correct."
