Cmon Kravitz, 9/11 was hardly Rudy's fault.

His command post(Building 7) was on the remotest edge of the Trade Center complex, and largely shielded from the Towers by another building in the complex, not in the midst of the complex. Besides which, that choice surely had to do more with the Feds, since they were greatly lodged therein.

His decision to employ the policing ideas of a guy whose name I can not recall -which involved following up on petty crimes, rather than ignoring them- did make NYC a safer place by most counts.

And Eugene: I'm not certain(off hand) if Rumsfeld got started with Nixon or Ford, but Rumsfeld definitely brought Cheney inside during the Ford administration. And isn't it amazing so few find that 30 some year legacy(sic) disturbing, let alone significant.

None of the Above, rather than Giuliani, McCain, Clinton or any of the other usual suspects that will be trotted out.
