Rudy Giuliani, mayor of New York City during the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their aftermath, said Tuesday the results of the Nov. 8 election would affect the war on terrorism.
"This election is going to put the country in a position, I believe, to be able to deal with terrorism on the offense, or go back to being on the defense," Giuliani told reporters after headlining a fundraiser for Republican U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine.
He said the post-Sept. 11 USA Patriot Act, which DeWine supports and Democratic nominee Rep. Sherrod Brown opposes, is an example of the difference between the two on fighting terrorism. Brown has said he thought the Patriot Act went too far.
DeWine's campaign didn't immediately release the amount of money raised Tuesday. Donations started at $250 for the event.
DeWine has been trailing in recent polls, and national Republicans decided against running ads on his behalf in the campaign's final week.
Giuliani also has campaigned in Ohio for Republican gubernatorial nominee Ken Blackwell and made a television ad for Blackwell.
Considered a potential 2008 presidential candidate, Giuliani was coy about his plans.
"Right now, I'm not looking ahead at 2008," he said. "I'm looking at 2006. Right now, 2006 is very important."
rudy can be coy all he wants.....he is running and will announce sometime in 2007.....

Look at the first sentence. Isn't the election on Nov. 7.
I will not vote for Giuliani for president - even against a rat. He is a RINO in the same mold as Arnold in California. But I do give him credit for working hard in this election cycle. He has made ads for candidates all over the country. He stands fairly high with independents and some rats so he may be of some help. If a Republican is elected president in '08 Rudy should be in line for a cabinet post (Defense maybe).
DeWine is a backstabbing RINO ass-hat. He can thank Jean Francois Kerry that I've finally changed my mind and will actually hold my nose and vote for the sickening little twerp.
Democrats vote on November 8.
