"Rudy Giuliani Quote (NY Post, 1996) "Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine."

Let's set the record straight on the above quote in your tagline.

Mayor Giuliani said it in 1996. And then endorsed the Dole/Kemp ticket against Clinton.

Full quote:

""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." -- Rudy - An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Wayne Barrett, Page 459"

He was more than open to the possibility of supporting Democrats. He endorsed Cuomo over Pataki in 1994.

Thank you for "setting the record straight". I couldn't fit the part about Giuliani considering an endorsement of Bill Clinton in 1996 into my tagline or that he's "open" to the idea of supporting Democrats over Republicans, and that he thought that the country would be in "very good hands" with Bill Clinton.

Please, keep setting the record straight.
