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.

Absolutely right. The vision in my head was vivid.
If you support a candidate who cannot win against the cut and run democrats...you have betrayed our troops!
Nobody is asking you to accept him.
You certainly are...
I don't understand exactly what you're looking for. He's extremely intelligent, competent, and a strong leader. As Mayor of NYC he turned NYC around, proving his abilities. That should be the answer you're looking for but I forgot, you're one of the unappeasables.
LOL
Do not answer a question with another question. You're pathetic!
Since I believe Rudy is a natural born citizen, who is at least 35 years old, I would say he qualifies to be POTUS.
Tell us what makes a good president, then? Do you have any idea what you are looking for?
I see you've noticed that it's unsubstantiated lies too. And spiff can't/won't back it up, which tells us everything we need to know :-)

Thanks for that enlightening post.
LOL - I like it!
LOL. That's the best answer I've heard so far. I didn't even think of that. If that's good enough for our founders, I guess it should be good enough for us. Very smart thinking!
I haven't betrayed anyone, there hasn't been a primary for pete's sake. You folks are insane.
Goodnight. You lose.
Rudy didn't know about Kerik.
Are you anti-abortion? It's OK. But you need to tell the truth.
I'm not pro-choice either. But you need to come clean.
As a former New Yorker, I know something about this matter. If you are doing God's work...then come clean.
Why are you pushing this POV?
LOL! No, you are trying to force him down our throats!
Remeber this one? Are you blind or jsut want to be irratating?
To: jla

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.
