To be fair, Rudy did have one real thing working for him. He was a hard nosed bastard who turned New York City around, from a cess pit that people were fearful to visit to a prosperous tourist mecca. He was never nice, but he was effective.
But he also has many things working against him, as we all know. And in the end they far outway his unpleasant but effective competence. I’m willing to give him his due, while saying that I still wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole because of his abominable positions on abortion, gay rights, illegal immigration, and gun control.
For all those reasons, there is no way on earth that he could win the election, and the money people who supported him were delusional to think he could.
Best thing for Rudy to do would be to run against Spitzer, or run again for Mayor since the law is that you can’t run for more than two CONSECUTIVE terms.
Well put.
