Giuliani Notes: Giuliani’s Website Undergoes Make-Over
The Join Rudy 2008 Website has undergone a make-over of sorts. But, along way to go to compete with ANY of the Democrat sites.
Donors have also complained to Flap that they have donated through the internet and have NOT received a thank you note or acknowledgement or receipt of contribution.
As Flap said – a ways to go.
And how about some video of the Mayor’s speeches?
In the meantime the Mayor yesterday attended a closed fundraising event in Palm Springs, California.
Former New York City mayor and possible presidential aspirant Rudy Giuliani was in the Coachella Valley on Wednesday, though you weren’t alone if you missed him.
Giuliani was in town for a fundraiser for his presidential exploratory committee sponsored by Rep. Mary Bono’s campaign and hosted by Edra Blixseth and her family’s home and golf course, Porcupine Creek Golf Club.
Attendees doled out $2,100 each for golf and a luncheon with Giuliani. The Desert Sun’s request to attend was declined.
Figures on the number of attendees and amount raised were not available Wednesday afternoon.
Note to the campaign: Rudy is a HOT item. Don’t cool him off worrying about a Macaca moment or closing him off from the MSM or blogs. Hillary seemed to manage her large press entourage in Iowa this past weekend.
Hint: Allow the local press some photo opportunities and brief interview opportunities, otherwise you get negative pieces written by the locals.
And Flap is not the only one with these thoughts (H/T Around the Capital)
It appears this blogger was covering a Rudy Guiliani appearance in the Granite State, “when, all of a sudden, a blond blur of Blackberry, Gucci, Neiman Marcus and Prada bustled over to me and chirped, “What are YOU doing here?”
“And then, without letting me even answer the question, Gucci continued, “YOU can’t be down here!’
A fierce battle of wills ensues. Nothing is resolved. Life, it appears, will go on, with a warning to the Mayor from the Blogosphere…
“Fair warning to the Giuliani campaign – New Hampshire is a small state where everyone knows everyone else. This is not New York City and we don’t expect to be treated like we are in New York City.
A humble Blogger with a simple Blog might not mean much to your earned media strategy.
But when that humble Blogger, slighted by an obnoxious broad on a power trip, tells the story over and over to high applause from his new friends in The Gang of 500 (limited watering holes in Manchester you may suppose) and all the NH Hampshire activists who read his blog every day, the storyline starts to stick…
“And, if Katie Levinson wants to apologize for the way she behaved yesterday, it would be appropriate. Even if all I’ve got is a simple Blog and have never worked for The Terminator.”
Another Flap Hint: The Mayor better FIX this QUICK.

Romney has a good site with videos of his speeches but also did not acknowledge a contribution.

I cannot understand the GOP campaign consultants. They all saw how Howard Dean raised a ton of money from the internet and Hillary’s operation.
You would think they would hire some web designers, database people and get busy mining the contacts.
I have been disappointed and it could cost them donors.
