There's more campaign cash going around this cycle than previous ones probably because of rising economic inequality, not the Internet, says Ben. Mitt Romney raised more money that Rudy Giuliani Gail Robinson thinks "one clear loser" in the state budget this year was "open government." Joe Bruno is gloating about how he fared. John Catsimatidis is registering as a Republican Howard Weitzman is raising money for something. Andrew Cuomo settled cases against Citibank and school lenders. Plans to build a new United Nations building on a playground has at least one critic. Conspiracy alert: The guy who convinced Rudy Giuliani to dress in drag - and may have introduced the former mayor to his current wife - is now helping John McCain. Giuliani leads 2008 contenders in Florida. And pictured above is a scene from the Assembly chambers shortly after the budget deadline on Saturday night. -- Azi Paybarah]]> http://www.observer.com/2007/elsewhere-bloomberg-giuliani-bruno#comments Politics Citigroup Inc.

The bank cut a deal to sell the branding rights to St. Paul Travelers.

Citigroup will need to draft up a new logo now. File this under slightly irrelevant, but what's this mean for real estate? Well, when they create the new logo it will mean a new top for three distinguished city properties: 666 Fifth Avenue; Court Square Two in Long Island City; and the top of the new Mets stadium in Queens.

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 06:00:00 -0500 Observer Staff 35736 at http://www.observer.com Obama Courts a Rubin http://www.observer.com/node/31311 Barack Obama is chasing another well-known New York fundraiser: James Rubin. (No, not that James Rubin -- this one.)

On Wednesday night at a steakhouse in Washington, Obama met with Rubin and a number of supporters including Michael Froman of Citigroup, Brian Mathis of Provident Group, Orin Kramer of Boston Provident Partners LP (who committed to Obama shortly afterwards) and Robert Wolf, the chairman of UBS Americas.

Rubin is the son of Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. For obvious reasons, he would be a nice get for the Obama campaign -- both a prominent name and a positive statement about Obama's generational appeal rolled into one.

Rubin's allegiance is still uncertain -- he did not return phone calls to his home and office -- but according to a supporter with knowledge of the meeting, he seemed inclined to commit to Obama.

Post editors don't want a sitting Assemblyman for comptroller.

The Daily News opines that whomever makes it through the screening panel "will have weathered a screening process, eliminating the suggestion that he or she is not the best or the brightest."

Rudy Giuliani is staying mum on President Bush's call for more troops in Iraq.

Mike Bloomberg told Congress that Al Qaeda is laughing at us.

A building the was part of the "scandal-plagued program of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development," in Boerum Hill was approved for a 25-year tax break from the city.

Democrats are planning a vote against Bush's Iraq plan.

And Jon Corzine has gotten poetic about New Jersey's problems.
