I heard Rudy speak two years ago at a community forum in Sacramento. I was never much of a Giuliani fan before that, but I was after that day. He's about the only politician today who has a clear concept of what constitutes effective leadership.
I am also voting for whoever the nominee is from the Republican Party including John McCain and I have never been a fan of McCain.
I am with you on hearing Rudy speak in person -- came away impressed and never gave it much thought before.
