There simply are few people in this world capable of the kind of leadership that Rudy showed us in the last month. Yes, many people put fourth as much effort as he, however it was his leadership that got NY through it so smoothly. They man just about gave his life along with the rest of the Fire Fighters and was forced to leave just before the collapse.
I had my grievances with Rudy, however even if Al Gore had done what Rudy has done, I would praise the hell out of him.
It is the part of advisor that the democrats would like to keep him from as well. And had Al Gore been in Rudy's shoes and shined so well, I would fight just as hard to keep him on longer to help NY get through the tragedy.
But to be quite honest, that city simply would not have been back up and running as fast as it did, had another been in place of Rudy. Sure, New Yorkers have the ability, but Rudy gave them the motivation and support.
You're correct...and now it's time to pat him on the back and say "great job, now follow the law". He or any politician should follow the rules and go on his/her merry way. NY has term limits and his term is up.
We shouldn't change rules in midstream just because he did this or that.
