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.

See post 408, the answer our founders would have given jla.
Yep, that's me.
And you don't have to promote liberal RINO Giuliani on a conservative forum!
Tell us what makes a good president, then? Do you have any idea what you are looking for?
WIsh I could thank you for the same...
That saved me a lot of typing!
"See post 408, the answer our founders would have given jla."
So, the only qualification YOU would have for anyone to be POTUS would be the legally required nationality and age?
Hillary qualifies by your minimal standards too, but then again, Rudy and Hillary ARE mostly on the same page.
"You do know that Rudy has gay friends?"
If the gay lobby supports Guiliani, and they probably do, that is a concern of mine.
Yes, I'd prefer if a politician and I agreed at least 75 to 80% of the time. It is a primary, but not the only factor in my decision to support a candidate.
What about you? Are issues important to you?
No, support whoever you like. What I find appalling is the bashing. Those who really have nothing to say - but are here just to bash.
Well, you succed and dare I say brilliantly!!!
I'm glad you said "I think." That makes the statement a revelation about your thought processes and not about Rudy.
We're INSANE...but you're not of course.
By pushing for a loser against the 2008 democratic ticket...and by dishing dirt on a potential winner in this war...YOU are betraying our troops. And YOU are betraying America.
Of course, that's just the opinion of us down at the asylum.
Let the Cut and Run Democrats win in 2008 and you have handed a victory to the islamofascists...and you have betrayed the troops.
Think about it.
He's a conservative on fiscal, domestic and foreign policy issues that supports strict constructionist judges!! Hardly a liberal. What's a RINO anyways? In order for someone to be a RINO we must have a definition of a Republican. And for the definition to be true it must accurately describe 100% of Republicans 100% of the time. Afterall, "real Republicans" never disagree about anything/sarcasm. Is Zel Miller a DINO then?
LOL - don't bring up the obvious - say the fringers(s)
Thx sweetheart...we do try. Join us.
Support whoever you like. But if you come here to bash - then you can expect to be chided and challenged.
Good night and good luck to you and all my other pro-Rudy friends. 24 is coming on and I don't miss Jack Bauer for anything.
Knock it off!
What do you think are the qualifications for president and why?
