If you attack Rudy on 9/11 - you strength him and his chances in the general election.
Rudy wins whenever 9/11 is the issue - PLAIN and SIMPLE

You're right if a politician attacks him. When the heroes of 9-11 come out against him that's a whole new ball game. The firefighters are more popular than he is and have more credibility on the subject of what happened on 9-11. Just like the Swift Boat Vets were able to attack the decorated "war hero" Kerry but politicians couldn't. The firefighters will be very effective if they get the press the Swift Boat Vets got.
Jake, Rudy does not win on the 9-11 issue when it comes to the
World Trade Center #7 Emergency Services fiasco. He had 8 years to move it, and he decided against the move. As a result, the building’s collapse was disastrous to NYC. How many died as a result of Rudy’s own incompetence on that one issue?
Which is why Rudy talks about it non-stop.
Face it, if it wasn't for 9/11, Rudy wouldn't be nobody, just another liberal big-city mayor with low approval ratings.
Let's see.
9/11.
Thousands of lives lost, yet thousands more saved.
Firefighters on the scene, many losing their lives saving others.

Okay... let's vote: Rudy vs. Firefighters
I'll vote for the Firefighters.
The people who were ACTUALLY involved in 9/11, the first responders, don’t like Giuliani at all and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Hillary. It has to do with Giuliani.
