The rest of the Giuliani resume

NBC News:

As Rudy Giuliani roamed around the stage at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics on Monday, you could almost forget that he was the mayor of New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. He talked about immigration and crime statistics. He mentioned his time as associate attorney general during the Reagan administration and how he fought crime as a prosecutor in New York City.

“I know how to get big tasks accomplished,” Giuliani told the crowd. “Look at what I did about organized crime as the United States attorney. Look at what we did about political corruption in New York City. Go back and look at what we did about drugs when I was in the Reagan administration. And go look at what I did when I was mayor of New York City.”

It wasn’t until nearly an hour into his town hall meeting that he mentioned the domestic terrorist attacks, and then it seemed almost a fleeting reference. Speaking about potential running mates, he spoke of his role handling logistics for the John Hinckley arraignment after the Ronald Reagan assassination attempt. He said the Hinckley experience, plus his work the day the Twin Towers fell, showed a president needs a vice president who can step in at an instant.

This week, the campaign is expected to launch the first of several Internet videos highlighting Giuliani’s experiences pre-9/11. And they are being coupled with more frequent references by the mayor of his time fighting crime at Justice and as the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York.

This is just one more thing Joe Biden was wrong about when he said that the Giuliani campaign was all about 9-11. One of the reasons Democrats do not want Republicans talking about 9-11 is because they are uncomfortable have to deal with the consequences of a mass murder attack on US soil. They want that memory to fade into the back ground so they can get back to domestic programs where they can spend money on buying the votes of constituent groups.

However, Giuliani's resume also cuts against them with his tough on crime record and his tough on corruption record. He is a much more formidable candidate than they expected and that is why they have been sending their attack dogs out.
