What if Rudy stated that 9/11 had changed his views and then moved more into the Conservative camp by abandoning those positions listed; how do you think he would fair then?

I don't expect him to do this, it would end, once and forever, his future chances as a New York politician.
He will have a tough time convincing me of his honesty, anytime he claims to change his philosophy.

I think he will do exactly that especially in regards to securing the border.

Shortly before his last-minute endorsement of Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential election, [Giuliani] told the Post's Jack Newfield that "most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." The Daily News quoted [Giuliani] as saying that March: "Whether you talk about President Clinton, Senator Dole.... The country would be in very good hands in the hands of any of that group."

Revealing at one point that he was "open" to the idea of endorsing Clinton, he explained: "When I ran for mayor both times, '89 and '93, I promised people that I would be, if not bipartisan, at least open to the possibility of supporting Democrats."

Just my opinion mind you, but I don't trust any politician that all of a sudden gets a change of heart before an election. However foregoing that, one thing comes to mind. Rudy was mayor after 9/11 and he still did not nix his anti-second amendment lawsuit.

In fact it took President Bush's signing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in October 2005 to stop that lawsuit. Just as any FYI, the lawsuit was filed by Rudy's admin against more then 2 dozen gun manufacturers in 2000 and never recinded by his office.
