Missed the point entirely, didn't you? You call him a one-trick pony but intentionally avoid acknowleding the magnitude of what that 'trick' was. That's fine, lots of folks play that game here.
btw...rather snide of you to suggest that I idolize Rudy.
He had a highly successful first term as mayor. He took successfully took on the primary problem facing NYC. Then what? Is that enough to qualify him for 1600 Pennsylvania. John Engler, Tommy Thompson, and Bill Owens all had great starts as governors. And are far, FAR more conservative than Rudy.
As for idolatry, your unwillingness to evaluate his entire record forces me to draw that conclusion.
