Greg Sargent explains. Rudy said today:

"I thought it would work, but then after a month or two I realized the idea that I was possibly going to run for president would be inconsistent with that," he said . . .

Baloney:

Rudy's role with the ISG was announced in March of 2006. That means that Rudy didn't see a problem with being on the ISG at that time. But many months earlier than this, Rudy himself was openly telling reporters that he was a potential candidate for President.

From the Associated Press in October of 2005:

. . . "I will be considering it next year," Giuliani said during a visit to Denmark.

Rudy, as he is on most things, is just making stuff up. Will the Media call him on it? Is a haircut involved? No? Then no.

    Rudy is an idiot, a liberal Rockefeller Republican whose only claim to fame was happening to be mayor of NYC when two bldgs were attacked.  He will not be getting this vote.  He ranks only above Mrs. Bill Clinton, Obama and Hedge-fund-for-poverty Edwards in my book.

    Rudy should have the courage to say where he stands on Iraq and what he plans to do.  Josh Marshall has a must see video of Rudy ducking the issue of Iraq.  As Marshall points out, how could it be then that a major presidential candidate chooses to avoid the paramount issue facing America today?
