Rudy Nomination = Boost for NY GOP

I previously wrote that Rudy would help Northeastern Republicans down ballot if he was the nominee next fall. And NYS GOP Chairman Joseph Mondello echoes that sentiment for New York Republicans especially. From today's D&C:

State GOP Chairman Joseph Mondello said the party's fate may be tied to whether former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani wins the Republican presidential nod.

With Giuliani, New York could be in play in the presidential race and spur the national GOP to pump cash into the state, which could help other candidates, he said.

"Rudy is strong in New York, and I just think he must run" on the ticket, Mondello said.
