There's more. Rudy has some serious leadership skills, and they've always been in plain sight for all to see. That's his trump card, IMHO.
Hasn't he been divorced three times, dresses up in women's clothing, has lived with homosexuals, is anti-2nd amendment, is pro-abortion, and the like? What's there to like?
Giuliani totally took charge after 9/11. He WAS the President, while the real President, Vice President, and members of the Congress and Senate were hiding in a bunker under the city. Bush then came in, riding on the waves of Giuliani, and stood in the rubble, pretending to be the one in charge. Sorry, but it was laughable. Cheney never did re-emerge from his bunker; we never saw him again after that. Giuliani also told that sheik with his $10-million dollar gift where he could shove it.
That's why I'm so torn. Giuliani would make a great president in terms of terrorists & terror. But, in terms of his morals and standards on other issues, such as abortion and gay marriage (to name two), he falls seriously short. So, would his leadership skills be enough to carry us through, or do we need someone with higher principles on ALL facets of life, not just terrorism?

I agree with you. Plus, I think he has an appeal to the fly-over states even though he is a New Yorker. As shallow as it sounds, I think they relate to his look and his way of speaking. He's a little more 'plain talk'.
