The transformation the guy brought to the city was nothing less than superhuman....mind boggling really.
Rudy's greatest weakness is his tendency to over reach....it WILL get him in trouble in DC. However, he would be a blast to watch operate; his iron fisted ways against the DC establishment. He'll get my vote.
If he runs as a Scalia Republican, his positions on the social issues that militant Freepers would commit Harry Caray over should be of little concern.
His "zero tolerance" approach to crime transformed the city. Before Rudy, small episodes of vandalism, etc. were tolerated with a shrug of the shoulders. With Rudy, nobody got away with anything, even the most petty of crimes.
