I walked the street of NYC late at night while Rudy was the mayor, I felt safe the police were very visible and life was good. Rudy is a tough person and he did break the Fulton fish market syndicate. Rudy had his
hands full with a unique problem to NY and NJ. In NY and NJ gun control laws are historically strict, but the influx of illegal guns is high. So what do you do? Reverse the strict laws, which would be political suicide or hold the line? Rudy did what he thought was best for NYC given the time and situation. I believe he will adapt to the nation in kind, he realizes that the USA is not NYC. I’ve sent money to John McCain’s campaign numerous times but his candidacy is not gaining traction, perhaps due to his age. I find age ridiculous today as I would vote my 91 year old friend in a second. He is far more lucent and has more energy than most 30 year olds.

Gaius,
What do you think about Rudy and the gun issue? I like Rudy, and will obviously vote for him should he get the nomination, but I am nervous about his stance on guns.
On one hand He is doing the opposite of pandering, saying I believe in abortion, but will do nothing about it. But appoint good judges. I find that refreshing and honest, but on the other I think it shows a character issue. (I am sorry to bring up the A work while talking 2nd amendment) (I have not heard Rudy speak clearly on the gun issue and seeing as he is contrary on these 2 issues I only link them for that reason)
I am not “for” anyone yet, I have reservations about Fred, and Romney, don’t think much about Huck, but haven’t ruled him out entirely. I am “for” Hunter, but am dismayed at his poll #s so I really have no Idea.
