Rudy, like Bush, like Fred Thompson.

Only likes friendly captive audiences and is lazy like Fred.

People are beginning to question Giuliani’s work ethic and whether he is willing to put in the amount of hours necessary to win votes, not just in Iowa, but nationwide. Giuliani is at his best when he is with those who like and respect him, where he can speak to a captive audience, sign copies of his book and accept kudos for his work on 9/11. He is less comfortable convincing undecided voters to choose him, and seems to be holding fewer town hall meetings and similar events than his colleagues.

And it’s not just in Iowa. During his three-day swing in Florida, he held only one town hall meeting.

The former conventional wisdom was that Giuliani was not holding many public events so that he could concentrate on fund-raising, especially since his main challenger is one with unlimited resources. But now more are questioning whether he is just not a fan of events that put him in direct contact with undecided voters.

3. Rudy wouldn't expose himself to random questioners unnecessarily--

he does NOT like to be challenged, and he's a control freak--yup, just like the Chimpster.
