CNN is reporting that Rudy Giuliani has taken his first steps in a 2008 run for the presidency, filing papers to form an exploratory committee. This comes on the heels of John McCain's announcement that he is contemplating a run, but will not form his exploratory committee until early in 2007.
According to recent polls, Giuliani is popular among Republicans and independents who lean Republican. His moderate views make him both a good and bad candidate. The religious conservatives will take issue with his moderate views on gay rights and late-term abortions, but he could quickly emerge as a centrist candidate.
However, if Giuliani were to secure the nomination, and that is a HUGE if, a contest between Giuliani, a true New Yorker, and Hillary Clinton, a new New Yorker, could prove very interesting.
