So basically,

Rudy will speak to GOP organizations where he already has connections and (essentially) PR folks embedded. But he's not going to bother attending any groups where he'll face questions on issues that might hurt him. Meanwhile, Romney and the rest will make efforts to attend all of them.

I'm no fan of Romney, but at least he's making an effort at convincing us he's converted.

Ah yes, the hide Rudy campaign beings in full-force. We're going to be treated to Clinton-style "no questions" forums, carefully staged only-pro-Rudy meetings and speeches, and a PR blitz focused on everything but the issues SoCons/Gun Conservatives care about.

Dear TitansAFC,

"I'm no fan of Romney, but at least he's making an effort at convincing us he's converted."

That's a very good point in Mr. Romney's favor.

"Ah yes, the hide Rudy campaign beings in full-force. We're going to be treated to Clinton-style "no questions" forums, carefully staged only-pro-Rudy meetings and speeches, and a PR blitz focused on everything but the issues SoCons/Gun Conservatives care about."

In all fairness to Mr. Giuliani, that may be completely appropriate, especially in light of this thread:

Mitt Romney seems to understand the GOP`s conservative base is critical to winning the primary/convention nomination of the party. And to become the GOP nominee for 2008, a candidate will have to secure the vast majority of conservative activist voters in the primary election phase. That is gonna be impossible if a candidate is a social liberal and chooses to fully ignore the power of social conservatives.

Giuliani Skipping Some Conservative Events...... Ah yes, the hide-Rudy campaign in full-force.....Clinton-style "no questions" forums, carefully staged only-pro-Rudy meetings and speeches, and a PR blitz focused on everything but the issues SoCons/Gun Conservatives care about.

Skipping conservative events is intended to marginalize social conservatives and gun owners, to make liberal gun-grabber Rudeinsky appear acceptable.

The Julie-annie strategy from the get-go was to hijack the Republican party, and dump social conservatives/gun owners from the party.

Many longtime donors complained ex-RNC chair Kenny Mehlman went out of his way to alienate social conservatives. Not to forget this pro-abort braindead dude was the architect of the Nov 2006 debacle, which got his *** handed to him

Now here's the hijack plan straight from the horse's mouth, neocon guru Irving Kristol (father of Fox pundit Billy), "The historical task and political purpose of neoconservatism would seem to be.....to convert the Republican Party and American conservatism in general, against their respective wills, into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to governing a modern democracy."

Too bad this crank doesn't like our way of government......but I hope the guy gets professional help for that dictator fixation of his.
