Republican Rudolph Giuliani's top political aide said Monday it is not possible for the former New York City mayor to run for governor of New York or challenge U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election bid next year.
But, Anthony Carbonetti cautioned: "Rudy is someone who never says never."
"Right now, with all the commitments he has here in maintaining the success of Giuliani Partners and now growing a law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, I just see the commitment as too great to undertake any sort of run within the next year," Carbonetti told The Associated Press. "It's not possible." Independent polls have also shown Giuliani as the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.
