Coupled with losing the endorsement
of 9/11 Commission Chair Tom Kean to Sen. John McCain yesterday, the Newsday
finds that Rudy Giuliani's "image as 9/11 mayor took a double hit"
yesterday as New York firefighters and families of victims of the
terrorist attacks took their campaign against him to New Hampshire for
the first time.
The AP
reports that the New York firefighters, including two who lost sons in
the terrorist attacks, held a meeting at Dartmouth College,
accusing Giuliani "of politicizing the firefighters' deaths by making
his post-9/11 leadership the centerpiece of his presidential
campaign."
Two firefighters said Giuliani "ignored recommendations to equip firefighters
with radios that would have allowed them to communicate with police
and to set up a unified command center so both departments could share
decision-making during big emergencies. Both men lost sons at the
trade center."
