I've heard his name tossed around as well Lavinia. I never knew too much about him before 911, and I think he was impressive in it's aftermath bringing the city together. When I was in NYC, a couple of the tour guides credited him for cleaning up Time's Square area, and seemed to have a favorable impression of him. I may be wrong, but I think he's known to lean a little "left" ???? Those in NY will be much more familiar with his politics than I am.
I remember twice, once shortly after 911 and then a couple years later hearing him say that on 911 the first thing he said to himself was "Thank God George Bush Is President." :rolleyes: Political bullshit??? Maybe, but I can't get that out of my head. :p Totally a turn-off.
However, it would be nice to have our first Italian American President, if qualified.
