"mayor of a major U.S. city in the Northeast -- and a hotbed of radical Marxism in the U.S. if there ever was one"

Take a DEEP breadth.
"Hotbed of Marxism"?
There is no place on the planet where the people practice capitalism like New York.
Its part of the very air we breathe here.
You don't know what you are talking about.


"Showing great leadership in cleaning up New York City is sort of like being able to stand up and make a credible claim that you are the best plumber in the history of mankind."

New York City is one of the toughest places to govern on the planet.
If you can govern effectively here, you can govern anywhere.



"This entire discussion is academic, since Giuliani has no intention of running in 2008"

Rudy will run.
Sorry.

You can't possibly be serious. Are we talking about the same city here? The one with the highest tax burden in the U.S.? The one with more per-capita government spending than anywhere else in the U.S.?
