I guess you will share my shock that people are already reading the impact on the stock market . Sick . Dow down 136 points .

They have Rudy on Fox News now giving his “expert” opinion.

[TommyDale]

This doesn’t help any American, let alone a presidential candidate.

I completely again with you. Rudy owns this issue. And anyone saying otherwise is delusional.

[matthew fuller]

"It definitely gives him a one-up on many of the other candidates (even though I’m not a McCain supporter, he looked “presidential” and “in control” of the situation when discussing the repercussions.)"

I agree to the extent that McCain will be advanced, but so will the cross-dresser, and Fred. The Huckster's lack of foreign policy experience does not allow him any gain from this. Same with Obambi, and it hurts hillary also.

[crz]

Exactly. Even though he really has the most in background concerning these issues, he really came off as you stated.

Like you and many others here, I dont support him because of his Nixon like domestic ideals. But when it comes down to it..he may be the best, when it come to foriegn policy, in the WHOLE field..both dems and repubs.

I agree. Equally important, whether the Hillary “Drivers licenses for illgals” or the “moveon.org” ads, Rudy has been uniquely attuned to taking advantage of current events.

"They have Rudy on Fox News now giving his “expert” opinion"

The only opinion that matters is the one given before an event happens. Rudy specializes is post-event posturing.

Rudy owns this issue better than most having led New York through the September 11th attacks on our country.

Rudy doesn't own the issue, he "reacted" and actually was poorly planned as his first respondes had poor radio communication which he was aware of since 1993.

[dforest]

It doesn’t help anyone no matter how many of them run out and act presidential.

Very true. It really does nothing to help any of them. All this has done is to provide camera time for bloviation.

Unfortunate truth is that a very large mass of people will vote that have never heard of Bhutto and have no idea where to find Pakistan on a map.

We know this because Miss Teen South Carolina pointed out that people just don't have maps.

“Christ! The poor woman isn’t even cold in the ground yet and she has become a campaign ploy. Stop it!”

Thank you. It isn’t all about us.

Yep, when he had the opportunity to institute a plan to upgrade the failed first responder radio system after the 1993 WTC attck, he did nothing.

[cripplecreek]

I call them American Idle voters and yes “Idle” is exactly how I wanted to spell it.

[TomGuy]

Obama is trying to read through a statement. He is fumbling and mumbling.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL . . . it was only a matter of time before something like that showed up here, eh?

[rod1]

Hillary must have been too busy kissing Islamic militants to comment.

[Pravious]

Ah, I love you anti-Rudy fellas.

Anything to do with the guy...

1) Make fun of his name.
2) Insert obligatory transvestite joke.
3) Call anyone who doesn’t think he’s the anti-Christ a moron.

I’m not a Rudy supporter, but I almost hope he gets the nomination just to see how you people react.

[fish hawk]

Even if you are a non believer, have a little respect for those who love the Lord

[Charles Martel]

You apparently haven’t been in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Altanta, San Francisco, New Orleans

The comparative incompetence of others is supposed to be a feather in Giuliani's cap? I dunno, "Rudy Sucks Less" isn't exactly a stirring sales pitch.
