Agreed, it's extremely unwise to underestimate that strutting son of a bitch 
Giuliani.  OTOH, it's not a good idea to *overrate* his clout, either.  
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I believe Rudy's man-on-a-white-horse act 
is getting stale.  E.g., IMO, his latest attempt to criminalize the homeless 
isn't playing too well around town.  I persist in believing that NYC is a 
city that, at some level, has an instinctual preference for the underdog, 
and I think that spirit can be appealed to successfully if demonstrators are 
skillful enough.
