Playing up Reagan's "optimistic leadership" - but ignores Reagans actual ideas especially those of a socially conservative nature. I guess since Reagan put his pants on one leg at a time, then somehow that makes Giuliani comparable. Giuliani invoking Reagan is just plain wrong.

Talking about Reagan's ability to make difficult decisions. Safe territory. I guess his campaign consultants gave him a raw number of times he has to say the name "Ronald Reagan" in his speech for maximum effect.

I guess he can invoke him because he WORKED for him. :)

Ronald Reagan instituted no fault divorce in California and made abortion legal. He was divorced and when he married his second wife she was pregnant at the time.

Ronald Reagan was no Ronald Reagan!

Rudy Guiliani accomplished miracles in turning New York City from a cesspool to a veritable paradise -- a process which had zero to do with pursuing liberal policies and *everything* to do with executing conservative policies.

I am sure as an Arizonian, you are far more familiar with Rudy Guiliani's record as Mayor, than I am, as a life-long New Yorker.

And BTW, tell us about how many miracles *you* have accomplished.

You're wrong.

Read Rudy's speech that he made at the Reagan library. In it he talks specifically about many Reagan ideas and his support of those ideas.
