Mayor Giuliani said yesterday in Denmark that he will contemplate next year whether to run for president in 2008.
“I will be considering it next year,” Mr. Giuliani said during a visit to Denmark. But he added that playing with the idea of running for the Republican nomination for president did not mean he would actually do it.
“Sometimes you warm up and get ready and you don’t get in and pitch,” he told reporters, in a baseball analogy.
Mr. Giuliani, who was praised for his leadership following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center, thanked Danish firefighters who raised $8,400 in support of their New York colleagues.
Eight firefighters from the station raised the money by recording a six song CD called “The Skyline Changed.” They sold 27,000 copies.
Yesterday, the band members handed over a copy of the CD to Giuliani, who in return gave them a FDNY hat.
