People who find sanctuary in clubs (like me), naturally aren't going to like policies against what we like to do. However, I don't think "anybody would've done the same thing". He has handled this situation extremely well, especially in getting NY going again in so short a period of time after the attacks. Also, there's no denying that he's done a great job of running the city over the last few years -- this is unquestionably a better city to live in than it was 5 or 10 years ago. Should he be allowed to run for a 3rd term? It would be a violation of the law, but these aren't rational times either. I don't know much about the other candidates, but I wouldn't have as much faith in them making this a good city for me to live in as much as rudy. Besides, despite the crap policies, there are still some very good places to party here.
