LOL I looked back at my post and I realized I didn't put a sarcasm tag on. I personally think we need someone real tough like Giuliani. Actually Guiliani is drawing huge sold out crowds in South Carolina and all the southern states. I don't see any people avoiding him like he has the plague like they do here on Free Republic. All I know is if we put in a mealy mouthed Republican Senator to run we are in for a big loss in 2008.
If you get the liberal Giuliani, what difference will it make? Oh yeah, I remember now, you get a liberal who's a Republican instead of a liberal who's a Democrat.
I like Guiliani too. That's primarily because I lived in Manhattan during Lindsay, Beame, Koch, Dinkie and Guiliani. I saw how a city could go from bad to worse to wonderful. Unfortunately, under Bloomberg, I see it heading down the tubes again (homeless, drug addicts, panhandlers - can squeegees be far behind?) But no decent person is allowed to smoke!
Of course, I still think NYC is the greatest city on earth.
