There’s a big hubbub over the future career of NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. Republicans are trying to draft him, even [setting up the financial and political network](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/gop%5Fgreases%5Fwheels%5Ffor%5Fmayor%5Frun%5FMM1LEIk77yE1PuicNbL6CK?ref=bklyner.com) he needs. The Daily News says “[go for it](http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/police-commissioner-ray-kelly-a-good-candidate-mayor-article-1.1066301?localLinksEnabled=false&ref=bklyner.com),” and also says that [voters want him to go for it, too](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/york-city-voters-nypd-commissioner-ray-kelly-run-mayor-year-article-1.1066491?ref=bklyner.com). Capital New York reports that there [aren’t any other viable option for Republicans](http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/politics/2012/04/5741303/why-are-republicans-talking-about-ray-kelly-because-hes-only-one-st?ref=bklyner.com). Crain’s says it’s [“nonsense” and, besides, he’s too old to run anyway](http://mycrains.crainsnewyork.com/blogs/greg-david-on-ny/2012/04/ray-kelly-for-mayor-nonsense/?ref=bklyner.com).

As for Kelly, he’s reportedly not ruling it out, but says [he’s a big fan of supermarket magnate John Catsimatidis](http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/politics/2012/04/5712327/koch-touts-ray-kelly-2013-and-kelly-touts-john-catsimatidis?ref=bklyner.com).

What do you think? Should Kelly run?
