Enjoying life!
The RNC coverage keeps referring to him as "the Mayor during the 9/11 attacks". Even on Fox. As if it were a deferrence to Giuliani because of the Convention being in NYC.
Giuliani is IMHO the guy we need running things in this country. Thoughts?
Very focused; very unbiased; not too 'entrenched'; I don't know. I'm sitting here trying to qualify him. Why am I doing that? The guy is a natural...

Of the two men's speeches, I had to give the bigger thumbs up to Rudy Guiliani's effort. He managed to bring us back to 9/11 and give us a feel for what he saw and felt. It was almost, like one journalist said, as if he was in your living room talking to you personally.I also liked his points on who is best to have in the Oval Office: a man who will stay focused on what needs to be done, or one who shifts his position with each daily poll, or his own whim.
McCain gave a very passionate speech, I thought, but didn't reach out to me as personal as Rudy.
I think if Shrillary decides to run for the presidency in '08, she is going to have some very stiff competition from this man. JMHO

I love the stories Rudi told... the bearhug from the construction worker was one... and he threw in a couple more, too.penncam said:

It was almost like you were sitting there drinkin' a beer with him.
And I hope he runs. I have heard nothing that would indicate he has an interest in it.

He ran against Hillary for the Senate seat but dropped out due to prostate cancer and a little matter of an ugly divorce/mistress.sleuth said:I love the stories Rudi told... the bearhug from the construction worker was one... and he threw in a couple more, too.

Really? That was before I really started following politics, so I didn't know that.Pete said:
I was thinking more along the lines of... since 9/11, Giuliani hasn't seemed to express (publically) any interest in the White House. At least none that I've heard.
There was a rumor a few months back that Giuliani would take Cheney's place on the Republican ticket, but nothing ever came of it.

I know speaking ability is not a top ocncern but GD I wish the Rebubs had some one who could rip off a good speech. I liked McCains speach but he needed a little mor enthusiasm. He didn't sound passionate until the very end. Lord knows W isn't going to rattle the roof. I wonder if they could get W to fake laryngitis and get Allan Keys to do it for him?

Last I heard, he was covering the RNC for USA Today. The newspaper decided they wanted to do something *different* regarding coverage, putting Michael Moore in charge of covering the RNC, and Ann Coulter in charge of the DNC. It was supposed to be a day by day column, but they yanked Ann's FIRST column and didn't let her do it.
So much for "fair and balanced" (yeah I know it's USA Today and not FOX, but Ann's column that was never printed popped up in her column - it was vintage Ann, but nothing to get upset over, except that it was about as kind to Dems as Moore is likely to the Repubs).

Yep, that was about a week ago or so, that the USA Today passed on publishing Coulter's piece, and yet they send Michael Moore to cover the RNC?SamSpade said:
If that's not hypocracy, I'd like to know what is! Like he's going to give us shining comments about what he heard and saw at the event last night?
Only if he flip-flops.

Here's Moore's first article (for those that feel like reading it).

There are a couple points that I had real issues with:
I doubt that.
The difference of opinion is whether or not the fetus is it's own entity (and deserving of protection) or a part of the woman's body (can be aborted). Nobody is going to be against abortion, but against the government banning it (well, unless they are a moron).
I don't even know where he comes up with that one. Does it say in the party platform that women should be paid less?
