The Candidate (Rudy Giuliani in NH)
The American Spectator ^ | 1/29/2007 | Philip Klein

Posted on 01/29/2007 1:36:27 PM PST by Dark Skies

Many skeptics continue to question whether Rudy Giuliani is serious about making a run for the White House, but it was abundantly clear on Saturday that he had come to Manchester for more than the sub-freezing temperatures.

Addressing over 500 activists at the New Hampshire Republican Party's annual meeting as part of a two-day swing through the state, Giuliani sketched the broad outlines of what looks like a presidential run. Sounding at times like a motivational speaker, Giuliani cautioned against cynicism and pessimism in the wake of November's election results and challenges in the ongoing War on Terror. The message especially resonated with the audience in this critical primary state, where the Republican Party just lost control of both chambers of the legislature for the first time since the 1870s.

"The best way we remain safe and we retain our freedom...is remaining on offense, remaining strong and not becoming weak in a time of pressure," Giuliani said in a line that drew the biggest applause from the crowd at the Palace Theater.

We have a tough enough time with conservatives getting the judges right. I'm not willing to risk it with a Liberal.

Rudy is extremely honest, dignified, a tremendous executive manager, even tempered and he would make one of the BEST Presidents this country has ever had.

He will be in the same class as Reagan. What he did for New York is factual proof of those qualities.

Of course, Rudy has been on the motivational speaking tour--like another old democrat turned republican who later dipped his toes in politics...

Not at all

Likable
Positive (this one you should really think about)
Electable
Executive experience
Understands the war on terror BETTER then any other candidate
Smaller government
Anti-tax
Constitutional SG appointments
He's Italian like me (if you don't think THATS important well it will help him carry NJ!

But you have already seen lots of more refined answers about his electability I just don't feel like typing a dissertation tonight and way exactly would it matter we have already made up our minds. I do not come to the Rudy threads to bash Rudy or any one else I come here to discuss his possible candidacy with out being SPAMMED and DISRUPTED.

What we're seeing here is an example of where liberal Republicans intend to take politics...down into the sewer where the Clintonistas dwell.

You really can't name anything specific that qualifies Giuliani to be POTUS, can you?
