"The fact is, Rudy is a Republican and for as far back as I can remember, has always been a Republican. "
among other things.....
From wikipedia:
"Giuliani first ran for New York City Mayor as the candidate of both the Republican and Liberal parties, attempting to succeed Ed Koch in 1989. "
from the Liberal Party website:http://www.liberalparty.org/Feb94Page1.html
"The Liberal Party scored a major victory on Election Night when Rudy Giuliani was elected the 107th Mayor of the City of New York, after a bruising campaign as the candidate of both the Liberal and Republican parties. The outcome of this race reinforces the Liberal Party's historic role of providing the crucial margin to exceptional candidates for both statewide and local offices. A coalition of Liberals, independent Democrats and independents came together to cast 62,469 votes for Rudy Giuliani on Liberal 'Column E.'
The Liberal Party's involvement in Giuliani's victorious campaign provided key leadership roles in the political effort. Vice-Chairman Raymond B. Harding was one of Giuliani's closest political advisors. State Chair Fran Reiter served as one of Giuliani's three Deputy Campaign Managers, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the campaign. And Executive Director Carl F. Grillo, as Executive Director of Field Operations, planned and masterfully executed the 'Get Out the Vote' strategy on Election Day. "

Thanks for the newsflash, Jimmy Olsen!
Of course, anyone who lives in NY knows that Rudy ran for Mayor as a Republican and Liberal candidate.
And I guess if you live in West Virginia wouldn't understand that it means absolutely NOTHING.
It has nothing to do with his qualifications.
And it has everything to do with your ignorance on the local politics of NYC.
NICE TRY, SCOOP!
