What a crock. How about Mayor Koch and Mayor Dinkins - are they qualified to be president just because they were mayors of NYC? Just being the mayor of New York doesn't even qualify any of them to be the manager of the Yankees. I keep hearing about all he did on 9-11 but all I remember is seeing him running around with a hankie over his mouth.
His candidacy is a joke. Thompson and Hunter are both far more qualified.
They would never win because of their views and how they handled the job, which was no where nearly as good as Rudy did. But as for the question of are they qualified, sure. One can easily be qualified for the job and never see my vote or the votes of any more than a small minority.
