Check out the 20/20 interview with the future President and First Lady here.

K-Lo posts Greg Pollowitz’s thoughts on the interview:

1. If Rudy was our rock post 9/11, Judith was his.
2. Judith is from Hazleton, PA. America loves its first ladies - lots of electoral votes in PA. Maybe she can help.
3. She won’t say how she met Rudy…kinda strange.
4. After marriage number 2, she went back to school. Had to take her daughter with her to night school. This could be a powerful part of her story to tell on the trail.
5. During 9/11, Judith was working to get info from the hospitals to Rudy. Didn’t know she was involved actively.
6. Not to sound sappy, but they seem to really, really care for each other.
7. The pre interview hoopla of Judith sitting in on cabinet meetings was WAY overblown. From the narrative tonight, Judith was instrumental in getting Rudy through his prostate cancer - explaining the “ologies” as she called them. Radiology, oncology, etc. The idea that Judith would sit in on cabinet/policy meetings was in relation to health care issues, nothing more.
8. Overall, I thought it was a good interview. She comes across a lot like Laura Bush, while the pre interview perception was that she was going more like Hillary.

Judi Giuliani has always come across to me as a charming and sweet woman who would definitely fit the role of First Lady. I honestly don’t understand why the Hillary comparisons are being made, unless they are the product of some sort of latent bias against women with careers. Like many First Ladies, I’m certain that Judi would take an active role fighting for causes that she cares about. Unlike Hillary, she won’t set up shop in Karl Rove’s office.

Update: Apparently, the first video I posted omitted the segment of the interview that included Rudy. It should be all fixed now.
