Guiliani did attract some support by conservatives by emphasizing law-and-order as mayor, which included reducing crime in New York City.  When U.S. Senator [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]] announced that he would retire in 2000, Guiliani raised millions of dollars from conservatives in an apparent attempt to defeat [[Hillary Clinton]] for that seat.  But after Guiliani raised all that money, he declined to run and many have no idea what happened to their donations.

Prior to becoming mayor of New York City, Guiliani served as a prosecutor for the [[Department of Justice]] in the 1980s.  As U.S. Attorney, Guiliani presided over many high-profile arrests and prosecutions, many of them apparently publicity stunts.  Acquittals in the Southern District of New York are very rare, but juries acquitted former Miss America Bess Myerson and former Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos of charges brought by Guiliani.

In another display of publicity, Guiliani began prosecuting insider trading after an investigation by the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] uncovered some illegality.  Guiliani then arranged for two Wall Street brokers to be handcuffed, put up against the wall, and arrested at their offices.  They were subjected to humiliating publicity, but were apparently innocent: no charges could even be brought against them.

Guiliani helped arrange for the Republican National Convention to be in New York in 2004, where he often promoted himself before delegates at special events.  But Guiliani's only contribution to the [[Bush Administration]] has been to persuade Bush to nominate Guiliani's friend [[Bernard Kerik]] as the head of [[Homeland Security]] after the 2004 election.  Numerous scandals then surfaced about Kerik and he withdrew.
