I had read this on the Five Brothers Blog at Romney's website, but had forgotten about it until reminded by MyManMitt. Here's the stark contrast to the Romney and Guiliani campaigns:

My message (Tagg Romney) could be summed up, as reported in the AP, as, "Personally, I think the best way to beat Hillary Clinton is not to water down our values, or to try to act more like Hillary Clinton, or try to blur the distinction between Republicans and Democrats," Romney said. "I think we need a strong Republican."

Rudy's representative, Kevin Cramer, spoke after I did, and said the following, also reported by the AP, "We are here to choose a candidate who can win next November. It does us no good to stand on our beautiful, wonderful principles, and lose to Hillary Clinton."

The thing that Rudy doesn't understand (besides what principles are) is that one wins because of principles, not despite them, but I don't expect him to understand that. Given our recent history with a president who placed expediency over principle (see Clinton and Lewinsky), would a Rudy White House be that much different than a Clinton White House?
