1. No, becuse I support Ron Paul. If Rudy wins the GOP nomination, I'll vote for the Democratic opponent.
2. He's not my first choice. But like any other he has potential. This is the age of information, there are no secrets and dirt will be dug up on any candidate. To him I would say no because he encouraged his city to be a safe haven for illegals and he doesn't support securing our borders. I don't care what he thinks we know. As for a leader, he pulled his city through a terrible tragedy and proved he is a strong leader. I simply don't agree with all his agendas.
3. Kinda dead in here...cold too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAvno_On2cM
4. I support him because of his stance on small goverment and low taxes. He has a record or reducing peoples taxes in New York and improving the city. He also has proven as leadership qualities. While I think he would need to surround himself with experts in a lot of area's if he was president (such as foreign affairs), I think he is the sort of leader/manager type person who can get positive things done and won't accept failure when he sets his mind to geting something done. I also respect him (much like I do John McCain) for sticking to his beleifs on issues that are not necessarily popular with the base of the party. A leader that will do what they think is right as opposed to what the extreme of the party wants is the sort of president I want. I also think he gives the Republicans the best chance to win in the general election because he can appeal to people outside of his party. Because I generally like the republican position on most issues, this is a positve for me. Although Giuliani trails in some conservative states, he is consistently the leader in nationwide polls and has polled even or ahead of any of the Democratic nominiees. If the Republicans nominate someone like Romney or Thompson, they will lose in the general election. Although the base of the Republican party might not like all his ideas, they ought to realize that his ideas are much better than Hillary's, which is what they will end up with if they don't use some common sense and nominate someone who can appeal to all voters.
