Rudy Giuliani: Reinvention, Reinvigoration, and Greater Freedom

Rudy Giuliani is out to win the 2008 presidential election by out campaigning his opponents. He speaks of reinvention, reinvigoration, and strategies to bring greater freedom to Americans. The Republican Party needs to remake and redefine itself in order to meet the challenges of the 21^st century, according to Giuliani. He says redefining our management of taxation, education reform, and entitlement reforms will give people more freedom.

Giuliani declares that he has been cancer-free for six years, and is extremely healthy and energetic. His campaign schedule includes five or six speeches, meetings, and fund-raisers, but he admits that they are still in an organizing stage. It is clear that Giuliani has not yet developed specific plans for dealing with important issues, but one thing is for sure: Giuliani believes that he has the experience, knowledge, and success in public service to become the next President of the United States.

Early polls placing Giuliani ahead of competitors, Clinton and McCain, surprise him a little, but he does not take polls too seriously. He is somewhat surprised because he feels his campaign got off to a late start, so he is pleased to be where they are. Giuliani hopes they are there at then end, but, like past presidential candidates, winning will depend on communicating a solid, comprehensive plan to the American people. Riding the campaign trail with stories about past successes will not be enough; America wants to know how he intends to build a better future for our country.
