any of the republican candidates would do better here then any Dem.
but don't kid yourself - a more specific answer to your question is - REVENGE FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO NEW YORK CITY on 9/11. don't think for a second that this isn't a big part of Rudy's makeup (whatever your feelings might be about him on another issue).
this war on terror - its personal for Rudy.
Personal revenge is a qualification to be Commander-in-chief?
Then why wasn't Rudy DEMANDING that something be done after the 1993 WTC bombing? Was that not "personal" enough for him?
The attack on NYC didn't just happen to Giulianni, it happened to the whole nation. Just because he is pissed at the terrorists doesn't make him qualified for CIC.
What did he do in the wake of the attack to fight the WOT? At the risk of setting everyone off here, I remember him attending funerals and did a great job overseeing the cleanup of the twin towers. But that is mayoral duties, not presidential duties. Help me out here.
