A reader forwarded this robocall from former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani on behalf of Fran Becker, the Republican who’s challenging Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy in Long Island’s 4th CD.

Becker is a long-shot, but he’s been gaining steam, and the GOP has high hopes for him. The reader astutely noted the subtext of this race: Giuliani vs. Mayor Bloomberg, who endorsed McCarthy (a thank-you for her willingess to cross party lines and back his successful bid for a third term last fall).

Here’s the script:

“This is Mayor Rudy Giuliani with a short message reminding you that unless we act
now to change the direction of our country, future generations will never again have the standard of living, the opportunities, and the freedoms we have now.”

“That’s why I’m asking you to vote Fran Becker for Congress this Tuesday. Because nothing is going to change in Washington until we change the people we send there. Thank you.”
