“In the middle of the question, Mayor Giuliani’s personal cell phone rang, and he answered it,”
That, by itself, would keep me from voting for him, unless he verbally communicated then and there exactly what the emergency was that would take his interest away from the graciousness that voters had given him by attending. This is a behavior I associate with Leftists, you know, the ones who are God unto themselves.
Boy it sure would be a departure from the current President who I believe has given everyone (Condi, Cheney, etc, included I believe) the notice of “no cell phones” when they are in a meeting, press conference, etc.
