(62,325 posts)Repubs didn't support him. And after Giuliani, whose polls were around 23% at the time, any Dem was likely to win that seat.
9/11 was used to turn one of the worst mayors, Giuliani, into a fake hero. It certainly was a shock to us in NY who knew he had ignored all the warnings of a terror attack on the WTC, arrogantly I might add, especially since it had already happened. I expected him to be called before Congress to explain WHY he had ignored all those warnings, instead I was in shock when I saw how the media turned an arrogant coward into a hero over night.
Even the fact that he was found wandering the streets that day, we knew was due to his refusal to put the command center somewhere OTHER than right in what many terror experts viewed as a likely target. And as predicted, the command center was destroyed which is why he was on the streets, looking dazed.
It shows what the media is capable of when they were able to turn that moron into a hero overnight, except to NYers, who knew him well.
