Rudy Giuliani is not a liberal. (Did you see the story this weekend that Mitt spoke out against Bush’s tax cuts, while criticizing McCain for voting against them?)

Furthermore, Rudy’s become more conservative over time.

You guys seem to be talking yourselves into a frenzy over him.

My biggest reason for supporting him is his ability to get control of bureaucracies. Here is a little quote by David Frum which describes the difficulties:

http://frum.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MjM1ZDYwNWM1MjEyMDQ5OTg0NjhkYTEyODIwZDcyMmY=


The internal bureaucratic obstacles to effective war-fighting are severe, and they have repeatedly defeated President Bush.

There are bureaucracies that will say, yes we must fight terror - but of course we must also support and sustain our allies in Saudi Arabia.

There are secret bureaucracies that insist that unless you follow exactly our advice, we will leak against you and inflict horrible political damage.

There are bureaucracies that will say, right behind you Mr. President, but of course we must also consider important oil leasing contracts.

And there are bureaucracies that say, certainly, certainly - but we must engage the states that support terror, not confront them.

It will take more than declared “hostility” to terror to manage such bureaucracies effectively. It will take skill and cunning in the management of refractory government agencies. There is only one candidate in this race who has demonstrated that kind of skill, and it’s Rudy Giuliani. None of the other candidates, Republican or Democrat, ever have.
