Rudy Giuliani to Deliver Commencement at The Citadel NewsMax.com Wires CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani will deliver the commencement address at The Citadel in the pivotal primary state of South Carolina, the military college announced Tuesday. The former New York City mayor was asked to speak to graduates on May 5 "because of his leadership in the wake of the terrorist attacks on New York in September 2001," the school said in a news release. Giuliani visited South Carolina last weekend, which will hold the first Republican primary in the South. On Monday, he filed a "statement of candidacy" with the Federal Election Commission, which moved him closer to a full-fledged campaign. Unlike chief GOP rivals Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Giuliani had thus far been ambiguous about whether he would pursue the Republican nomination, even though he had taken the initial steps. The event is not open to the public. Tickets are distributed to cadets in April, the school said.
