You haven't a clue. Talk to any NYC Metro FReeper, who maybe had to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel, or drive over the Third Avenue Bridge, and run the gamut of extortionists who came to "clean" your windshield. Ask them (the NYC FReepers) about the panhandlers, about the garbage, the streets, the subways. Ruddy revived NYC in a way that few thought possible. Yes, he didn't round up the illegal aliens, but he made the City attractive in a way that it hadn't been for decades. Than was his job and he did it well. The fact that he proved to be an up front, charismatic leader in the aftermath of 9/11 is a plus. The fact that he is a Yankee fan is a negative.

Oh right. And you do? LOL I was born and raised in NYC. Grew up with a buncha Giuliani's and not one of them was worth a crap.
Cleaning up Times Square, eliminating the squeegee-men, arresting public urinators and catching turnstile jumpers are not the issues that conservatives will be judging candidates on in the GOP primaries.
