California Republicans Welcome Rudy

Rudy Giuliani was the guest speaker yesterday at the California GOP convention held at the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento.

Coming close to announcing that he was running for President, Giuliani asked of the California Republicans to decide on him as the type of leader needed for the future.

Giuliani focused heavily in his speech on fighting terrorism, and called it the greatest moral issue of our time.

He was also critical of the move by some Republicans and most Democrats to pull the troops out of Iraq, saying that in a time of war, you don't talk about pulling out. Giuliani said that the non binding resolution was not something that Presidents do - they have to move the country forward and make decisions.

Giuliani said that was the kind of President he wanted to be.
