WASHINGTON – Religious conservatives served notice Saturday that Rudy Giuliani is not their candidate and began winnowing the field in search of a presidential hopeful they can rally around.

Rudy Giuliani asked that they look beyond his support of gay rights and abortion rights and recognize their "shared values and shared goals."



... "I truly believe that what unites us is much greater than any of the things that divides us," he told 2,400 people attending a Values Voter summit.
