Rudy is not a party building kind of guy. He would never have done the cross-dressing performance if he had been one. Whatever his drawbacks, he is an extremely effective law enforcement kind of guy and a genuine NYC guy with moxie and an attitude that makes him respond to being tread on by treading twelve times as hard on the offender.
I think that the appointment of Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General (without meaningful Rudy input on judicial appointments or social issues) will be regarded as one of the very best appointments by President Fred Dalton Thompson, along with the SCOTUS appointments of Janice Rogers Brown and two similar 45 year-old nominees to be named. In the first two years of the Thompson administration, the two of them will show the backbone and determination in confronting Demonratic Congressional pipsqueaks and America's Islamofascist enemies that will make Americans proud of institutionalizing a Republican Congress and Senate.
Hopefully, President Fred Dalton Thompson will also appoint a Secretary of State who will rub our enemies' noses in it and put an end to the culture of diployak enemy butt-smooching that seems to be the very definition of the generally useless State Department.
We can also do better than Boehner and we ought to. Mike Pence, anyone????
As John Paul the Great used to say (echoing St. Paul): Be Not Afraid! OR: (less elegantly) Stuff the pessimistic crepe hanging.

I doubt Thompson will get the nomination--and if he did, I doubt he'd win a single blue state. Right now he's making a small stir--but there's no there there. His single term in the Senate was inconsequential.
