Rudy is definately a polarizing individual. I know a lot of New Yorkers who cannot stand the guy. I know a lot of other New Yorkers or all political stripes who, before 9/11, said the guy took a run-down, ugly, and crime-ridden NYC and made it shiny and new.

To be honest, I like the guy for his courage. No, I'm not talking about his actions during 9/11. I'm talking about his ability to take so many stands that cross party-lines. I personally question the intellect of anyone who stands by their party on each and every issue. Rudy is pro-gay marriage and pro-choice and, yet, calls himself a Republican. To me, that demonstrates that he has a certain amount of cajones and intellectual strength that I see from so few politicians, or people for that matter. I don't know whether I would ever vote for him, but he has my respect.
