Campaigning for Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) in Cincinnati 10/31, ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said "America could become more vulnerable" to terrorist attacks if Sherrod Brown (D) and Dems win 11/7. Giuliani, after headlining a fundraiser for DeWine: "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 was "particularly harsh about Brown's vote against the Patriot Act" (Sloat/Ott, Cleveland Plain Dealer, 11/1).
With Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) "at his side" 10/31, IN Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) said, "the Republican Party could not do better" than McCain in '08. Daniels called McCain-- who was in IN 10/31 to campaign for Rep. Chris Chocola-- his "role model." Daniels, on McCain: "He says just what he believes. He does just what he says he'll do and thereby has built a credibility and unique position of public trust in our country." Asked if he was endorsing McCain for the WH, Daniels said: "All things in their time... the Republican Party could not do better. I hope he runs" (Schneider, Indianapolis Star, 11/1).
