America's Mayor to Hit the Twin Cities


Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will get some prime time exposure at the Republican National Convention. Giuliani is scheduled to address the crowd at the Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday, Sept. 2. This will be his second opportunity to speak at a Republican National Convention. In 2004, he gave a keynote speech on the first day of the GOP convention in Madison Square Garden in New York. Giuliani was a candidate for his party's nomination in 2008 and entered the race as a front-runner. He was the first candidate to drop, exiting the crowded field Jan. 30 after a disappointing 3rd place finish in the Florida primary. He immediately endorsed John McCain and remains a loyal supporter of the presumptive nominee.
