Rudy the Frontunner Getting Play in the U.K.

From the Times, "People Power Puts Rudy in the White House Line-up":

At a remembracne ceremony on the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on New York, twin beams of light will mark the site where the towers of the World Trade Center stood. Also in the spotlight will also be Rudolph Giuliani, "America’s mayor", whose message of hope helped to inspire the city.

It remains his finest hour and his best claim to succeed George W Bush as president in 2008. Giuliani has promised to decide whether to run after the mid-term congressional elections in November.

In all the Washington chatter about the White House race Giuliani rarely features as the top contender. But opinion polls place him ahead of Senator John McCain of Arizona, the Republican favourite. A Fox News poll last week found 46% of Republican voters preferred Giuliani for president compared with 36% for McCain. The same poll showed both men beating Hillary Clinton, the Democrat frontrunner.
