despicable acts of terror. the world before 9/11 looks different than the world after 9/11. every nation has a choice to make. in this conflict, there is no neutral ground. the facts show that saddam hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce weapons of mass destruction. in this battle against terrorism, there is no silver bullet. today, america is again forging its future by choosing a man to lead it into the 21st century. this is cnn s coverage of election 2000. this is the last official stop of campaign 2000.

- no, that sense has always been there. - oh. - the first time, he was mayor rudy. now he s king giuliani. - giuliani was just starting to wear on the public of new york. - the city was ready to move on, was ready to turn the page from the giuliani years. [soft acoustic music] [dreamy piano music] - manhattan is like no place else in the world. in new york, what you see is first of all, you see a natural wonder of buildings. you know, it s like the pyramids. the buildings dwarf you. the buildings remind you of how unimportant you are, because you re so tiny. in this big, incredible city, when you see it, it makes you want to come and see it. it makes you curious about it. it makes it something bigger than life. i have strong feelings about new york, everything that makes up new york. we re the crossroads of the world. this is the center of the universe. i mean, there is no place that gets more people from more different places. you sort of get, like,
republican rudolph giuliani. [tense music] - in city hall, there was a space in the bowels of that ancient building that came to be known as the lair. that s where the cigars would be smoked. and that s where giuliani s inner circle would watch the godfather over and over. [chuckles] and over again. - godfather. - rudy is famously obsessed with the godfather. - rudy giuliani is a little bit of everybody in that film. one night, he had a showing of the godfather. and he sits behind me, and during the entire movie, he explains why the life of politics is exactly the life of the godfather. and, of course, in the one story where sonny complains to the godfather that they should be selling drugs, and you see this battle within the family, rudy starts tapping me on the shoulder saying, do you see? do you see? when you have a disagreement, you keep it in the family. - don t ever takes sides with anyone against the family again. - rudy grows up to become a prosecutor of t
