Blow it out your ass.
I've not met a Democrat since 9/11 who wasn't terrified at the prospect of a Giuliani Presidency or who didn't run a litany of his personal failures my way when mentioned as a nominee.
The reason New York Democrats voted for him is because he was a law-and-order candidate who stood in sharp contrast to the failed Dinkins administration. They decided they'd had enough of living in a third-world city.
Who would have known you're a native New Yorker? Your screaming, uninformed, bogus tough-guy provincialism leaps off the page.
BTW: I'm tougher than Rudy, but that's not saying much. ;-)
In many cases, including this one, "law and order candidate" is a nice way of saying "gun-grabber".
