Giuliani's 9/11 Legacy and NYC Firefighters

Interesting and somewhat surprising New York Times report about GOP presidential front runner Rudy Giuliani's less than full support from NYC firefighters. The firefighters' criticisms of Rudy now open the door for others to more carefully scrutinize and challenge Giuliani's post-9/11 conduct, which, up until now, has been virtually untouchable. What's at stake for Rudy? Only his primary presidential selling point to a national electorate mostly unfamiliar with the specifics of his tenure as NYC mayor. Will other Republican candidates be tempted to delve into this area? Something to keep an eye on in the next six months as second tier candidates try to put a dent into the legacy of "America's Mayor."
