Speaking to the Republican convention in 2004, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that on the morning of the worst ever terror attacks on U.S. soil, with "the flames of hell" burning overhead, having just realized "a human being on the 101st, 102nd floor was jumping out of the building," he turned to his police commissioner and said, "Thank God George Bush is our president."
"I say it again tonight," Giuliani declared. "Thank God that George Bush is our president!"
The party's relative silence on issues of war and national security at their national convention last month in Tampa, Fla., was a marked contrast to just eight years before, when Republicans from across the country gathered in midtown Manhattan, about three miles north of Ground Zero, to nominate President George W. Bush for a second term in the White House.
Eight years later, the tables have turned.
A new ABC News poll shows Obama with a 51-40 percent lead over Romney on the question of whom registered voters prefer to handle terror threats.
At this time in 2008, Republican candidate John McCain led Obama by 20 points on the same question.
That's a 31-point swing in just four years.
