I can't ignore social issues for 8 years as other posters have suggested. I also am sure that a man who supports partial birth abortion will never get the republican nomination. Sean Hannity has given Rudy countless opportunities to recant his support for this atrocity, and he hasn't.
Also, I'm prepared to get flamed for this, but if 9/11 hadn't happened in New York, if it had happened in California or Boston or anywhere else, we wouldn't be having any discussion about Rudy running for anything.

"but if 9/11 hadn't happened in New York, if it had happened in California or Boston or anywhere else, we wouldn't be having any discussion about Rudy running for anything"

That's just the way life goes sometimes.
Some people are born great, some achieve greatness and others have greatness thrust upon them.
Not every mayor handles crises anywhere near as well as Rudy did.
Just go ask "Chocolate City" Nagin of New Orleans.

One of he reasons we think Lincoln is one of our greatest President was because of the civil war.

Aside from all that, Rudy did achieve great things as mayor in New York, long before 9/11.
