I'm willing to give Rudy credit for reducing crime in NYC. That said, I believe that there is a much different skill set needed to be President of the United States, versus Mayor of New York City.

I'd be quite happy if Rudy had challenged Hillary for the US Senate in either 2000 or 2006, New York would be much better off with him in that position, and the country would be better off if she had simply been defeated, and living back in Illinois after the divorce...

The thing is, Rudy is being arrogant about fighting crime - and 9/11 too. He's done a respectable job, I say respectable because these weren't his ideas to begin with. He merely put a sociologist's theory to practice and got lucky it worked as it did.

But he wasn't the Batman like his groupies insinuate he was.

You'd be wrong, then. The trend toward reduced crime started well before he became mayor.
