Giuliani says he'd welcome Thompson into Republican race

wboc.com | AP

Rudy Giuliani says he'd welcome former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson into the presidential race.

But campaigning today in California, Giuliani argued that he's still the stronger candidate in terms of cutting taxes, fighting terrorism and bringing traditionally Democratic states -- like New York and California -- into play in a general election.

Still, Giuliani could be hindered if Thompson grabs the attention of Republicans who are looking for a candidate to beat Democrats, but are uneasy with Giuliani's support for gay rights and abortion rights.
