So we're now posting letters to the editor to try to prop up Rudy? Isn't enough to post when county commissioners, etc endorse?

Whatever...

I don’t see anyone writing letters to the editor supporting other candidates...

Good thing the election isn't for another year. The author of the letter to the editor will have turned 18 by then and can vote:

MIAMI DADE COLLEGE: President Bush will speak at MDC commencement

(snip)

When Vice President Dick Cheney showed up at Florida State University's commencement in 2004, College Democrats protested and one woman carried a stuffed chicken -- though he did draw standing ovations.

MDC's Kendall campus is not a very partisan place, said Christopher Miles, 17, the president of the student government. Miles said he plans to start both college Democrat and Republican clubs this summer.

Soft on Gay Marriage

Other than tax cuts, the biggest domestic issue of the 2004 election was President Bush's support of a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani has taken a "Kerryesque" position on gay marriage.

Although Rudy, like John Kerry, has said that marriage should remain between a man and a woman, he also supports civil unions, "marched in gay-pride parades" ...dressed up in drag on national television for a skit on Saturday Night Live (and moved in with a) wealthy gay couple" after his divorce. He also very vocally opposed running on a gay marriage amendment:

His thoughts on the gay-marriage amendment? "I don't think you should run a campaign on this issue," he told the Daily News earlier this month. "I think it would be a mistake for anybody to run a campaign on it -- the Democrats, the president, or anybody else."

Here's more from the New York Daily News:

"Rudy Giuliani came out yesterday against President Bush's call for a ban on gay marriage.

The former mayor, who Vice President Cheney joked the other night is after his job, vigorously defended the President on his post-9/11 leadership but made clear he disagrees with Bush's proposal to rewrite the Constitution to outlaw gays and lesbians from tying the knot.

"I don't think it's ripe for decision at this point," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"I certainly wouldn't support [a ban] at this time," added Giuliani..."

Although Rudy may grudgingly say he doesn't support gay marriage (and it would be political suicide for him to do otherwise), where he really stands on the issue is an open question.
