I’m not argung that he’s got Foreign policy credentials, merely that he turned New York City around. I moved out of NYC during the Dinkins years. I went back to visit when the Yanks won the series in 96. The change was incredible, and I grew up there so I know NY. And as for his approval ratings at 28%, consider the (liberal) NY press constantly berating him for being tough on the poor criminals, and welfare cheats. Face it, Rudy was a very effective mayor, and on that record alone, he’s more qualified than other candidates who’ve done nothing more than run a Senate office, occassionaly spewing soundbites.
Big friggin’ deal. Let him become governor of New York then. Maybe him and Judy can turn upstate around.
