He would be strong on defense. Period.

I'm curious as to why people think this. I can't stand the guy, but I will give him credit for being a terrific leader post-9-11. But how in the world does that translate into having what it takes to be good on foreign policy?

The only reason Rudy is popular is because of 9-11.

You pose a good question, jmc. It is an assumption that Rudy would be strong on defense, but perhaps it shouldn't be a given.

At any rate, I oppose him on multiple levels, and I don't think he has a shot at the nomination, no matter how much the media wants him to get it.

He's just not a conservative, and he has WAAAY too much 'baggage.'
