Run Rudy Run!

Rudy Giuliani filed paperwork today marking his intentions to run for the President of the United States. I think this is great news. Rudy is more moderate than many of the other Republican candidates, and he is much more likable than Newt Gingrich or John McCain. Mitt Romney may give him a run for his money, but if I had to bet this early, I would bet that Rudy may win the nomination for the party.

As far as his fitness to lead the nation, he is a much more successful lawyer than Hillary or Obama. I would bet that he can find all of his old case files, and not hide them in the private quarters of the White House like Hillary did with the Rose Law Firm files. Can he be Commander in Chief? Compared to any of the democrats running, Giuliani has commanded the largest forces- the New York City Police Department. His record proves he is tough and effective on crime, great for the economy, and tough under pressure.

From Fox News here:

WASHINGTON ? Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor whose popularity soared after his response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, moved closer to a full-fledged campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday.

In a sign that he’s serious about running for the White House, the two-term mayor was filing a so-called “statement of candidacy” with the Federal Election Commission. In the process, he was eliminating the phrase “testing the waters” from earlier paperwork establishing his exploratory committee, said an official close to Giuliani’s campaign.
