in a move that most likely will stop Rudy from running, Andrew Cuomo it is being said is DEFINITELY running for Gov of NY
either against David Patterson in a primary, who's popularity has dropped to near zero or without a primary run of Paterson
Cuomo, son of former gov.Mario, basically has the race clinched, keeping it on the Democratic side, and making Barack obama very happy if he does.

Cuomo Tells Giuliani He's Running
"Andrew Cuomo has secretly notified Rudy Giuliani that he will run for governor next year," according to the New York Post.
"The confidential message, conveyed through intermediaries, was delivered to Giuliani recently and is expected to play a central role in the former mayor's impending decision on whether to run as the Republican candidate for governor in 2010, sources with knowledge of the situation said."
"It was sent as a courtesy -- Giuliani says he's "friends" with Cuomo -- and as a warning that the former presidential candidate would face a brutal and, according to a dozen recent polls, losing battle against the highly popular attorney general."
