Congressman Peter King of New York says former New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani is "is very close to saying he's going to run." Apparently Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin have the Republican establishment quite worried. Giuliani was an extremely competent mayor-exceptionly so in fact-and a genuine hero to many of us who watched in horror, anger, and despair the 9/11 tragedy unfold. He was America's mayor and America's Churchill. Then came wife number two with her expensive handbags and snarky demeanor. Then came the 2008 primaries when he pinned all of his hopes on the Florida primary and lost. Prior to Mitch Daniels' decision not to enter the race not a word was spoken about Rudy Giuliani. One has to believe that someone in the Beltway crowd prevailed on the former mayor to run. Mickey Mantle, and Joe Dimaggio before him, knew when it was time to go.
Come on, Mr. Mayor, let us remember you as the hero you were.
