So Guiliani has come clean about harboring any presidential ambitions by forming a presidential exploratory committee. The WP listed him as the No. 3 most likely choice to be the Republican frontman, and while Guiliani has the potential to clean house in his homestate, the other states of the Union will be a bit more difficult to come by. There is the general prejudice against anyone that resides above the Mason-Dixon line that he will have to face. Then there are the more obvious issues he would undoubtedly be confronted with, namely his more liberal stance on abortion and gay marriage, topics that tend to not be open for discussion here in Evangelicaland.
And another thing: leaping from Congress to the White House is difficult to do; I may be wrong, but I don't think that anyone ever went from being a mayor to president. The fact that he is not a current mayor makes it that much worse.

Hard to say. He has name recognition and I think is seen as a hero of 9/11 (without the negative Bush connections).
First of all he wouldn't carry New York, the Dem would and he dosen't stand a chance in getting the Prez nomination, maybe VP, but not Prez.
