If Condi won't run, how about Rudy?

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has formed an exploratory committee to investigate the possibility of the notion that he might consider looking at maybe testing the waters for the right combination of factors that would tend to support the suggestion that he would likely be in favor of making a run for the Presidency in 2008:

Under federal election law, an exploratory committee allows an individual to travel and gauge the level of support for a candidacy without formally declaring themselves a candidate and adhering to all the federal rules of fundraising. An individual who spends money only to test the waters - but not to campaign for office - does not have to register as a candidate under the election law.

So it ain't in the bag yet, but we can hope. Hey! Maybe Condi could be his Vice President!
