Many skeptics continue to question whether Rudy Giuliani is serious about making a run for the White House, but it was abundantly clear on Saturday that he had come to Manchester for more than the sub-freezing temperatures.
Addressing over 500 activists at the New Hampshire Republican Party's annual meeting as part of a two-day swing through the state, Giuliani sketched the broad outlines of what looks like a presidential run. Sounding at times like a motivational speaker, Giuliani cautioned against cynicism and pessimism in the wake of November's election results and challenges in the ongoing War on Terror. The message especially resonated with the audience in this critical primary state, where the Republican Party just lost control of both chambers of the legislature for the first time since the 1870s.
"The best way we remain safe and we retain our freedom...is remaining on offense, remaining strong and not becoming weak in a time of pressure," Giuliani said in a line that drew the biggest applause from the crowd at the Palace Theater.

"Once conservatives get the word, they'll be backing off supporting him".
yep. when i first started hearing rudy or mcain, i was ready to get in rudys corner (dont care for mcain at all).
but the more i read about his record the less appealing he became. aside from the WOT he is hillary clinton with an R.
i also bought into the hype that hes the only one who can "beat hillary" but not only do i think he couldnt beat her, i dont even think hillary will make it.
her own base hates her and conservatvies will come out in droves to defeat her! and theyll more likely do that if we run a strong conservative, rather than another liberal.
Before too long, I think many conservatives will reach the same conclusion you have. We should be nominating the best conservative candidate available, not some northeast "blue state" liberal who doesn't agree with the GOP`s basic platform, a limited govt, pro-life, pro-guns, anti-gay and anti-illegal platform.
