Fred should have run in 1996, when he would have been the high energy guy in the race.

Rudy is my choice because the techniques he used as a crimefighter would transfer well to the counterterrorism fight. All those funerals he attended in 2001 mean he won’t forget the most important part of the job.

Giuliani is passionately committed to free markets and low taxes. His prosecutorial background will lead him to appoint the kind of judges the Federalist Society likes, and he’s the only candidate to tell that group so in person.

While Rudy is certain to nominate conservative judges, he can also reach out to secular voters. Personally I believe we need a President who knows that it is his job to govern, and leave the benedictions to the clergy.

I know some are wary about a divorced candidate whose kids don’t support his politics, but we’ve been there, done that, and it worked out pretty well last time.
