As callous as it may seem, Rudy's biggest asset in the 2008 presidential election is September 11th, 2001. I'm not saying that he ENJOYS that fact, but I (and many others) believe that if 9/11 had never happened, then Rudy Giuliani would just be another "former mayor of New York City", not a political icon as he has become.
BUT, it seems that there are those that aim to change the public perception of "America's Mayor". Jerome Hauer, formerly the emergency management director for New York City, is saying that Rudy didn't exactly do what he claims to have done following the September 11th terror attacks.
We'll have to see what the impact that Mr. Hauer's claims will have on the Giuliani campaign. So far, nothing seems to stick to Rudy - as he continues to be the front-runner for the GOP nomination.

He does however expect intelligent discussion -- and some understanding of proper grammar usage.
