Rudy Giuliani Watch: New Hampshire Troopers Endorse Rudy

Republican presidential hopeful, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, shakes hands with Louis Copponi after getting the endorsement of the New Hampshire Troopers Association in Concord, N.H., Saturday, Dec. 1, 2007.

Rudy Giuliani received the first EVER endorsement of the New Hampshire Troopers Association today.

Lewis Copponi, the association’s president, said backing Giuliani was an easy decision. “His record in New York is unparalleled among the other candidates,” he said. “His support of law enforcement is long known.”

Giuliani was presented with a trooper fleece vest and hat, and he put on the vest. He teased reporters, who wanted him to try on the hat, but seemed to know it would be on the front page of the next day’s New York tabloids and demurred.

Smart move by the Mayor with the hat. Remember Dukakis and the Tank?

Rudy praised the troopers in yesterday’s Hillary Clinton Campaign HQ hostage crisis in Rochester, New Hampshire.

“They really, I think, showed us an example of when you have to deal with crises, how to do it,” Giuliani said, before reiterating his support for law enforcement and their new role as “first preventers” in the age of terrorism.
