The Candidate (Rudy Giuliani in NH)

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.

I like the guy, but not as a president. Too Liberal. I might take him over McCain though...

Why don't you cut out the homophobia.

Probably because he's afraid he might uncover an advanced case of homophilia.

The more votes Rudy or Romney get - the fewer McCain gets. The more candidates in the running - the fewer votes McCain gets.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Is what was posted in post 11 untrue?

[jla]

He wishes.

[Dark Skies]

Don't worry Spammy, you've had gay friends. You just didn't know it.
