It all depends on whether Marine Le Pen and her followers want to replace Sarkozy or to elect him as a bastion against Hollande--and I don't know how they're thinking about it.

More grist for the rumor mill???

(CNN) – One-time Mitt Romney rival Rudy Giuliani endorsed the all-but-certain Republican presidential nominee for president on Monday. And the former New York City mayor downplayed any chance he would be considered a running mate on the GOP ticket.

Giuliani made his endorsement in an appearance on Fox News, saying that Romney's "got the resume and background for the job."

The former mayor and 2008 GOP presidential candidate said he met with Romney last week.

"I had a very good breakfast with him. We had a very long talk," Giuliani said. "Of course we've talked a number of times. This was a really good long talk."

As for being considered a running mate to the former Massachusetts governor, Giuliani said "I'm not on the list for running mate. I'm sure of that."

But Giuliani then went on to say: "But I would help him in any way that I could, anything I can do."

This just in from the Washington Post --

"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is expected to suspend his presidential campaign within the next week, according to a Republican operative familiar with the decision.

The candidate had already been signaling that the end was near, telling supporters in North Carolina that he would reassess his candidacy while continuing his tour of the state.

“Over the next few days we're going to look realistically at where we're at,” Gingrich said in a speech in Concord Tuesday night. He said he would assess the race “as somebody who's a unifier and somebody who's realistic.” "

In this race, I'm pulling for Ron Paul. He is far more honorable a person than MR. As an American citizen I am allowed to send him a contribution ( you can't ). Just to put my money where my mouth is, I sent Pres. Obama a contribution, just like in 2008, and I also sent Ron Paul $10 to help his campaign in New York State. Consider that my gesture to good Dr.G./Macfury relations ................... sort of like the US/Russia Nuclear Arms Agreements of years gone by.

Paix, mon ami.

Macfury, an interesting bit of info re Rubio's maternal grandfather. The story appears in a forthcoming and unauthorized biography of the senator by Manuel Roig-Franzia of the Washington Post.

"Rubio was born to Cuban exiles in Miami in 1971, and so he's automatically a U.S. citizen. But, according to excerpts from the book, which is due out in June, his grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, entered the United States without a visa in 1962 and spent the next few years in legal limbo while pleading for leniency from U.S. immigration officials. Finally, Garcia was ordered to leave the United States."
