Both Geraghty and Marc Ambinder were sufficiently struck by it to post on it. His line at the end about what he’d do in the first hour of his administration also seems to have gone over like gangbusters. I e-mailed Jon Henke to see if the campaign has video; I suspect they will in an hour or two, so check back for updates.

“When I spent two solid hours in a private meeting with Rudy Giuliani, I shared Christ with him so much that at the end of that two hours I said, ‘Rudy, I’m not going to leave this place unless I give you an opportunity to pray with me to receive Jesus as your savior. Would you do that with me Rudy?'” Page recounted.
