The New York Times reports on what has been billed as Rudy’s kickoff fundraiser, held Tuesday night in New York:
Speaking to reporters after the fund-raiser, Mr. Giuliani said he was still assessing his prospects and added, “This is a good start.” Asked about Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican who is considering a presidential run, Mr. Giuliani called him “a fine man” and “a good friend.”
“We’ll have a large number of people who support us, and then we’ll figure out who has a better chance,” Mr. Giuliani said.
He also praised Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, another possible Republican contender. “We’re going to have to figure out which one of us can make the best contribution, who has the talent, experience and background to guide this country two years from now,” Mr. Giuliani said.
I wonder if the tone will change slightly by, say, this time next year.
