GOV. HALEY BARBOUR (R-MS): "As Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani did almost everything that any conservative Republican would hope could get done in New York City. … As Mayor, Rudy Giuliani not only cut back crime, … but also never raised taxes. While he was Mayor, city spending went down. … In his eight years as Mayor, New York gained more than 400,000 jobs. And for those of us who would go to New York during that period of time, the change was breathtaking. … I think a lot of people … don't realize what a great record he had as Mayor long before September 11th, or what a conservative record he had as Mayor."

STEVEN CALABRESI, CO-FOUNDER OF THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY: "Mayor Giuliani has been in public life for more than 25 years and he has a public record of getting things done. One of Rudy Giuliani's 12 Commitments to the American People is to appoint strict constructionist judges who will not legislate from the bench. … The next President of the United States could easily end up making four appointments to the Supreme Court, and I think the future of our 25 year struggle to reign in judicial activism is at stake. I'm convinced Rudy Giuliani is the man who can win that fight."

MIGUEL ESTRADA (2001 COURT NOMINEE): "Rudy is a leader. He is the leader we need after 2008. He is the leader that will keep us safe and will look after our prosperity in the country. … In 2008, we need to make every effort we can to have the quality appointments we have had in Justice Alito and Chief Justice Roberts. Rudy has stated in no uncertain terms that those are the models for what he looks for in his judges. He will be what our court system needs."

STEVE FORBES: "He is the man who can lead America in a world that is uncertain, fight the forces of evil and at the same time increase economic opportunity here at home."

SEAN HANNITY, HOST OF HANNITY'S AMERICA: "[Rudy Giuliani] governed as a conservative. He cut taxes 23 times, he got 650,000 people off the welfare rolls, … he got rid of the sex, and the drugs, and the crime, and dramatically reduced the murder rate. We saw what we did on 9/11. Do I agree with his position on abortion? No. Do I like his answer about … [appointing] originalist justices? Yeah! … The only way a President can impact the abortion debate is on the courts! That's the only realistic, true way that he's going to have an impact. Do I think he would understand and be on offense on the most important issue of our time? Would he beat back socialism and higher taxes on health care? Yeah!"

REP. CANDICE MILLER (R-MI): "The individual best prepared to lead America is Rudy Giuliani. … Rudy Giuliani is a leader, he’s a true leader."

OMB DIRECTOR AND FMR. REP. JIM NUSSLE (R-IA) (2006 GOP NOMINEE FOR IA GOV): "Leadership is about results and right now America needs results. If we're going to move forward and realize progress, we need a proven leader who has gotten results and is ready to handle both the expected and unexpected challenges our country will face. … Rudy Giuliani will put aside the partisanship that has divided us, tackle the difficult challenges at hand and give the rest of the country a principled leader we can all believe in."

FMR. SOLICITOR GENERAL TED OLSON: "Rudy's views on many, many issues are going to be very compatible with people in the conservative political community and the political legal community. Nobody's going to be able to find a candidate with whom they agree with 100 percent on every issue. Overall, Rudy's strength of character, his capacity for leadership in a time when a strong executive is important, his energy level, his ability to provide the kind of leadership that Ronald Reagan did -- I think that is going to be very persuasive with conservatives."

GOV. RICK PERRY (R-TX): "I’m endorsing Rudy Giuliani for the presidency of the United States because he’s got a record, a strong record of leadership. He’s got the right vision for a nation at war. He’s got clarity of purpose I think that’s unequaled by any candidate in this race. Rudy Giuliani is a leader who has a proven record of leadership. He gets things done. He is a results-oriented leader. Rudy Giuliani is best equipped to make the tough choices for a country at war. He’s a consistent leader with a track record of consistent results. He offers America a much better vision than another Clinton president. The office of president requires much of its occupant. … I’ve asked him some tough questions. I’ve looked him in his eye as he answered. I studied his positions. And I will tell you I have been highly impressed with his record. I’ve taken the measure of a man. And I believe that without a doubt or reservation that Rudy Giuliani is the most capable, the most prepared individual of either party to be the next President of the United States."

GEORGIA HOUSE SPKR. GLENN RICHARDSON (R): "Rudy has demonstrated the kind of strong leadership we need in the White House and has a record of proven results."

PAT ROBERTSON, HOST OF 700 CLUB: "He did a super job running the city of New York and I think he'd make a good president. … The thing that he has said that conservatives should listen to is that he's going to appoint judges after the stripe of John Roberts and Alito and Scalia … Abortion should not be something that the President has anything to do with. This should not be a national issue; it never should have been. Roe v. Wade was a mistake--they shouldn't have brought that up into the federal level. It should have been kept to the state level."

REP. PETE SESSIONS (R-TX): "I'm supporting Mayor Giuliani for President because he has the experience, record of results and vision to unite our country during these uncertain times."

BILL SIMON (2002 GOP NOMINEE FOR CA GOV): "'Can [Rudy] Giuliani appeal to the pro-Life, pro-family voters?' As a self-identified social conservative — and one who ran as the Republican nominee for the governorship of California on that platform — I can answer that question without even a moment’s hesitation: Yes. A growing number of social conservatives are supporting Rudy Giuliani because there is much common ground that we share. … He shares our concerns and is eager to work with social conservatives to achieve real results. And he has a record of delivering social reforms that dramatically changed a culture that was defined by its moral deviancy. Social conservatives, like myself, have a friend in Rudy Giuliani and someone whom they can rely upon."

FMR. GOV. TOMMY THOMPSON (R-WI): "Rudy Giuliani has shown that he is a true leader. He can and will win the nomination and the presidency. He is America’s mayor, and during a period of time of great stress for this country he showed tremendous leadership."

CLUB FOR GROWTH PRESIDENT AND FMR. REP. PAT TOOMEY (R-PA): "Rudy Giuliani accomplished more cutting taxes than anybody else in a very difficult environment."

REP. JERRY WELLER (R-IL): "Mayor Giuliani is the only candidate for president who has demonstrated the ability to lead in a time of immense national crisis. No one can forget how this leadership reassured America and brought New York City back from the 9/11 attacks. We must not forget that New York City has a population larger than 39 states. Mayor Giuliani turned around a city that was in a downward spiral by drastically reducing crime, reforming welfare, and attracting jobs and investment back to the city. I believe he can have the same positive impact on our country."
