A lot of people like Giuliani. When he took over, NYC was a mess. He cleaned up the streets, put people to work through his welfare-to-work initiative, clamped down on the mob, and did a heck of a job during 9-11. However, his views on illegal immigration could really hurt him.

A very beloved NYC mayor was Fiorello LaGuardia. He led the city through some of the worst days of the depression and the hardships of WWII. My grandmother used to tell me stories on how he would read the Sunday Comics on the radio during a nationwide newspaper strike so the kids wouldn't miss their favorite episodes.
