As opinion polls continue to reveal Americans fear another terror strike, it becomes clear why Rudy Giuliani is maintaining front-runner status for the Republican nomination in 2008. And his campaign clearly seeks to capitalize on his image as a leader in a time of crisis.
“Giuliani has the reputation of when the wost catastrpophe in the world hits the United States, that he can manage it,” said Dr. Susan MacManus, Newschannel 8 political analyst and USF political science professor.
And you can expect the former New York City mayor’s campaign to run on that image from now until the general election.
“As long as you have that nagging fear of another terror attack, then Giuliani’s going to grabe people’s atteniton as a possible presidential choice,” MacManus said.

I’m impressed with Krista Klaus’s writing, reporting, and overall style. Why isn’t she hosting her own national Network TV program. She’s so much better than Katie Couric.
