Guys, this is a really good article from Slate, by a New Yorker about Rudy. I really recommend reading it, as the writer discusses him pretty fairly, including the things he did well. PLEASE read this before casting your hypothetical votes. Plleeeeeeease. Most of you don't know the man other than what you saw after 9/11. And, (thankfully for all of us) most of being President does not involve 9/11s.
Having been through both the Giuliani and the Bloomberg mayorships, I can say unequivocally that Bloomberg is boring, has no star power and a really annoying voice, and is a much, much better mayor than Giuliani. Tough without the bombast, no interest in being the cover story and always willing to own up to his screw-ups (and he's made a few). Giuliani has skin thinner than rice paper and really can get petty- he fired his very effective police commisioner because he was mad that the police commisioner got more press than he did. I'm not kidding.
Anyway, here's the article. Please, non-New Yorkers, please read it. NYC'ers, you already know all this stuff about him, so if you still are planning to vote for him, well hey, at least you're casting an informed vote (assuming he winds up the candidate).
