Giuliani: Save Patriot Act, Vote DeWine
Rudy Giuliani, mayor of New York City during the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their aftermath, said Tuesday the results of the Nov. 8 election would affect the war on terrorism.
"This election is going to put the country in a position, I believe, to be able to deal with terrorism on the offense, or go back to being on the defense," Giuliani told reporters after headlining a fundraiser for Republican U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine.
He said the post-Sept. 11 USA Patriot Act, which DeWine supports and Democratic nominee Rep. Sherrod Brown opposes, is an example of the difference between the two on fighting terrorism. Brown has said he thought the Patriot Act went too far.
DeWine's campaign didn't immediately release the amount of money raised Tuesday. Donations started at $250 for the event.
DeWine has been trailing in recent polls, and national Republicans decided against running ads on his behalf in the campaign's final week.

Considered a potential 2008 presidential candidate, Giuliani was coy about his plans.
"Right now, I'm not looking ahead at 2008," he said. "I'm looking at 2006. Right now, 2006 is very important."
