Hurricane Strengthening Giuliani Appeal?

I agree with Lorie Byrd and her assessment that Rudy Giuliani is looking pretty good in 2008:

Byrd

Like Lorie, I have been leaning toward Rudy early on for all the reasons she listed and the current post hurricane climate only strengthens his standing I say:

Thanks to the blame-Bush media, it seems the public now believes that the first and ultimate responder to any kind of disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be the federal government, or more specifically, the President. Giuliani is the only potential 2008 candidate that has shown himself capable of handling a challenge of such historic proportions. Because issues of national security and war and peace in the Middle East will outlive the Bush presidency, the nation will be looking for a leader able to perform in a crisis.

There is the abortion matter that will probably cost Giuliani some support from the right-to-life ranks but even they can’t deny that of everyone in the field thus far, Rudy is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to proven leadership…………..

Update:

Patrick Ruffini has a new straw poll up and it confirms the above, that Rudy is looking very good across all spectrums. It’s closes in the south with Rudy 4% better than Allen, but he is still leading. If you add the Fantasy candidates, Rice crushes everyone………
