NORFOLK, Va. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is endorsing U-S Senator George Allen's re-election bid.
Giuliani joined Allen today for a briefing on port security in Norfolk and a private fundraising luncheon in Virginia Beach. It is the second time in two weeks that Allen has appeared with a possible rival for the 2008 G-O-P presidential nomination.
Giuliani is best known nationally for his leadership following the terrorist attacks on New York City five years ago. He has been traveling around the nation speaking on behalf of Republican candidates.
Allen brought the popular former mayor with him to Hampton Roads as he tries to recover from the fallout from his remarks to a campaign volunteer for Democratic challenger Jim Webb.
Giuliani said today that he could think of about 100 reasons why he supports Allen's re-election. Foremost, he said, was that the senator -- quote -- "understands what's at stake in the war against terrorism."
U-S Senator John McCain of Arizona joined Allen in Norfolk earlier this month to help announce a "Veterans for Allen" coalition.
That is exactly what I will do. Giuliani has my support in the primaries but whomever wins the primary be it Rudy or someone else,they will have my vote.
Kudos to Rudy for doing this.
