I agree. Rudy's not a dummy. And if he states his case fairly, and makes palatable promises to conservatives as this piece suggests, then I'm inclined to believe him.
I live in the NYC area I'm not aware of one major promise or policy statement that Rudy's made that he's lied about to his constituents.
That's true... he doesn't lie, and he doesn't pander (at least not to anyone he isn't married to). Now if he could just get his head straight about the role of government he'd be my guy.
