He will fail if he needs my vote to win.

What is needed is a President who can go over the heads of the Washington weasels and the MSM.

The Katrina thing wasn't Bush's fault, but what was needed was a president who could pull the trigger domestically, knock heads together with the state and local governments and deliver resources quickly.

Isn't that what happening in Miss. and Ala.? They cooperated with the Feds and not a problem. That Blanco b!tch didn't cooperated with Feds until it was too late!

I'd prefer Bill Frist, thank you.

This is something Conservatives are going to have to get used to. Unless Condi runs, there is no one on our side who can defeat Hillary. My money right now is on a Rudi-Condi ticket.

To wishy-washy and not a strong leader. After the way he's let Harry Ried walk over him, he's a non-starter.

As much as I disagree with Giuliani on the social issues, if he runs I will vote for him. I have never had the chance to vote for him, and I owe him my vote. He brought my beloved hometown of NYC back from the brink of the abyss, not once, but twice, and the first time single-handedly.

He makes too much $ doing what he does now. The libs here in NY hate his guts and he wont win enough votes anywhere.

I agree.

For the anti-abortionist crowd--I say the President cannot do much to satisfy you..It's a court issue and I don't see the Ct ever doing more than nibbling around the edges on Roe. Face it.

He brought New York back twice. Before 9/11 and after 9/11. Unfortunately, with him gone, Bloomberg is letting it go back into decay... Bloomberg is the real liberal Republican...

The only state in which Rudy could be considered a Republican is New York.

Nuff said.

But Rudi G certainly can!

By slashing through red tape, does this person infer the Constitution is 'red tape'?

While this person understood at least the President wasn't at fault for a hurricane, they need to understand there is a difference in what a Mayor..and a Governor...can do and what a President can do. States have a degree of soveriegnty.

If Rudy made it out the primary he would be elected. I'd vote for him. It's not like he's McCain. But it's unlikely he'll make it out because I, and others, want a conservative at the top of the ticket.

And, right now, Barbour is the only one I like AND not too long ago he said he wasn't interested in running. So while I have him on my tag as an example of the type of qualities I am looking for in a candidate, it's more of a warning to the other candidates that seem to think they can be Chief that seem only to care about courting the media or their polls. Not a one of them have earned it yet.

I could live with him as President, but he hurt himself with his stand on stem cell research, and his leadership in the senate leaves something to be desired (In his defence that job is like herding cats)

Giuliani played no role in taming Katrina, but as I saw New Orleans turn into an open sewer, all I could think of was what Giuliani would do.

He certainly would have done something, which is more than can be said of Nagin.

If it's a choice between Rudi and The Beast, I will hold my nose on his liberal stand on certain social issues.
