Geraldine Ferraro tells the London Telegraph :

On the subject of fellow New Yorker campaign Miss Ferraro has few kind words, saying: “Without 9/11, Rudy Giuliani would be an asterisk, a footnote in this city’s history.”

Now that’s just silly. Even before he became mayor, his work as a prosecutor would make the city history books. As for his tenure as mayor pre-9/11, welfare reform, crime…there was a bit of a transformational aspect to the Rudy years.

He may not have been extraordinarily popular with all on September 10, 2001, but there was no question he had made an impact on the city.

Personally, as someone who’s recently stopped walking down certain midtown Big Apple blocks for the first time in years, I want Rudy to run for mayor of New York again.
