If Rudy Giuliani does run for president, here's a target he should pound away on -- the media's role (led by the New York Times) in undermining the War on Terror -- and a line he should repeat over and over again on the stump - America isn't perfect but we do a hell of a lot of good in the world. There's plenty to work with on both counts. Republicans would be extremely receptive to such a Reaganite message, and given his background he's (along with Sen. McCain) just the person to deliver it. They hate the arrogance of the media in publishing the details of top-secret programs for our enemies to read, and I bet would look quite favorably on a candidate who passionately took on the anti-Americanism of the Left. So far, no presumptive presidential candidate has fully tapped into this sentiment. Rudy should consider doing so.
