If Rudy Giuliani is elected president, he will make history:

No United States senator has been elected president since John F. Kennedy in 1960, but former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani is challenging an even more formidable historical hurdle: No former mayor has been elected president since Grover Cleveland of Buffalo in 1884 and Calvin Coolidge of Northampton, Mass., in 1924.
And no mayor has ever become president without serving first in some other elective office beyond City Hall.

Perhaps another example of how Rudy’s campaign defies conventional wisdom. Via Political Wire.
