NEW YORK -- Commending Rudy Giuliani for his work after the Sept. 11 attacks, the New York Republican Party on Monday endorsed its native son for president.

"Only Rudy Giuliani has stood at the abyss of terror and destruction and shown a city, state, nation and, yes, the world the true meaning of leadership," state GOP Chairman Joseph Mondello said at the event at a midtown Manhattan hotel.

Giuliani said fighting terrorism and dealing with the economy would be the top two priorities for an incoming administration. He also told the supportive crowd that the GOP needed to compete even in traditional liberal strongholds such as New York.

"My view of this race for president is that the Republican Party should not go into this election, as we have in the past, having to write off New York, Connecticut, New Jersey," he said. "We've got to make this a 50-state election."
