Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has filed paperwork setting up a Presidential campaign exploratory committee:
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has apparently taken the first step toward a presidential run, filing with the New York Department of State late last week to form a presidential exploratory committee .
Papers for the “Rudy Giuliani For President Exploratory Committee, Inc.” were filed last Friday in New York. It is registered as a “domestic not for profit organization.”
“Mayor Giuliani has not made a decision yet,” said treasurer John H. Gross. “With the filing of this document, we have taken the necessary legal steps so an organization can be put in place and money can be raised to explore a possible presidential run in 2008.”
Given the rumors that have floated around him for the past year or more and his involvement in the 2006 race, this isn’t at all surprising. One would have hoped, though, that we could wait a week before worrying about the next round of elections.
