• Mayor Bloomberg says he may run for governor in 2010. The reasoning: He is allegedly angry at Spitzer for trying to "run the city," so he may as well wrest the state from him. Does this mean people will finally stop bugging Mike to run for president in '08? [NYP]
• We told you the Giuliani campaign is going to be filled with moments like this, and, boy, does the man deliver: Just as Rudy got comfortable saying he "hates abortion" on the trail, out pop his donations to Planned Parenthood — six of them, all made while he was mayor. [amNY]
