I was stunned while reading this article, finding it strange that such a "liberal" newspaper would show a republican in a good light. But, just like the article describes how a city of liberals continued to vote for a republican, the liberal paper did him justice as well, painting him in a good light. Although, I felt like there might have been a hint of sarcasm in the writer's words.

Giuliani, one of the top republican candidates running for office in 2008, has been using his city, New York, as an example of how he took something evil, corrupt, and vile into something good. Crime was up, along with prostitution, porno shops, and drugs. LIke the homeless, he threw all that out of his city. Some "rural" republican candidates (if there is such a thing as a rural/farm boy presidential candidate) have been accusing him as a big city spender, too focused on the needs and wants of big cities.

I personally hope Giuliani wins the republican candidacy because I think he will do terrible in the overall election, therefore letting the democrats win.
