In all seriousness, I believe Rudy is the only person truly qualified to lead the United States. Anyone who was able to clean up New York City is more than qualified.

Overrated. He just instituted common sense practices (professional law enforcement, increased spending on sanitation, etc.), that are common in most of the country, but only unusual in NYC.

Other than that, he is an intellectual cosmopolitan who's world view is foreign to that of AMERICAN conservatism, even in its most moderate forms. As an agnostic, his lack of religious faith does not bother me, but his East Coast mentality, control freak manner, and the sleazy characters he surrounds himself with do. If it weren't for being sainted for 9/11, he would have retired in disgrace (his approval rating in early September 2001 was in the low to mid 30s).

I have not spent my years of political activism and loyalty to the GOP to have Jacob Javitz with a vowel at the end of his name to become President.

Ideally, Newt would be the best man to lead the nation, but he has ethical issues of his own.
