Compared to what we have now, Guiliani is more conservative with regards to law. I think you had to have lived through it to truly understand what a transformation he made in New York City. He took on all the big liberal interests and won!

This city was a total mess from the Dinkins years, when the Left ran wild and turned the city into a virtual war zone. Then came Guiliani - and by the time he was done, 42nd street went from the world's pornography capital to a place where families could take their children. While politically adept, he was not cowed by politics - and he did get re-elected. And of course was the historic role into which he stepped after Sept. 11, rallying the people of the city together in a hopeful manner, to overcome that which was wrought upon us.

Guiliani has also been in politics a long time, so he's already been vetted on the basics of being a candidate, and would not make any newcomer's mistakes. I do think he has to be considered an excellent chance for the right to maintain the Presidency after 2008.
