Here is my take on Rudy Giulliani running in 2012:
Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giulliani was not my pick in 2008, but I have been thinking about what a good job he did in NYC in certain areas; he reduced crime, cut taxes, and reformed welfare. Troubling, however, is that he allowed NYC to be a sanctuary for illegal aliens, he campaigned for democrat Mario Cuomo in 1994, and once supported public funding of abortion. In his 2008 campaign, Rudy proved he would be strong on national defense and for free market economics, though he has a more moderate stance on social issues. Rudy is a reformer with results, but I don't think he is a consistent conservative. Would I vote for him against Obama? In a heart beat. Would I vote for him in a primary? Depends on who else runs.
