...Yorker born and bred and vehement about my city, I thought Rudy Giuliani was a terrific mayor. He was a breath of fresh air after the dismal liberal hackery of his predecessor, David Dinkins. Giuliani made the city safer. He was an avid, detail-oriented manager, although he couldn't dent the city's school bureaucracy. He was an inspiring leader when the crisis came. He spoke his mind and did not suffer fools even a tiny bit--but then, creative incivility is part of the job description for a successful mayor of New York. I'm not sure, though...
...stump, Giuliani says "the fact that there are terrorists around the world that are planning to come here and kill us ... is something I understand better than anyone else running for President." And that may well be true. To the extent that counterterrorism requires intensive police work, Giuliani certainly has the skills and experience to do the job. He would undoubtedly clean up the mess in the Department of Homeland Security. He might be bullheaded enough to prevent Congress from buying more of the cold war weapons systems that the Pentagon doesn't want, and redirect the money...
With $23 million in the bank, Romney blew past "front runner" Rudy Giuliani ($15 million) and nearly doubled John McCain's take.

McCain used to joke that the media was his base; there were pundits who loved his willingness to say the unpopular thing--as long as it was unpopular with his party and not with them. Now the conventional wisdom...
...article "Why Is Rudy Smiling?" [April 2] neglected the key element in Rudy Giuliani's rise in the polls over the past few months: his reversals on abortion, which have made him acceptable to many pro-life Republicans. Prior to the campaign, he opposed a ban on partial-birth abortion (which he now favors) and considered the Roe v. Wade ruling "good constitutional law" (he now promises to appoint strict constructionists--code for overturning Roe). While still nominally pro-choice, he has positioned himself as effectively pro-life...
...kick to the head of McCain. One of his main primary opponents, Mitt Romney, shattered prior fundraising records, pulling in $20.5 million between Jan.1 and March 31, while McCain did just $12.5 million over the same period. That even placed McCain third behind former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who took in $15 million. "We had hoped to do better," said McCain campaign manager Terry Nelson...
