Giuliani maps out 2012 strategy in meetings with Govs. Christie, Perry

[no_hypocrisy]

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani held meetings with two Republican heavyweights in New York Wednesday in an attempt to gauge support ahead of a potential 2012 campaign.

Giuliani, 67, held separate meetings with two allies -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in Manhattan.

According to MSNBC, the meeting with Christie came at Giuliani's request as he seeks to sound out the popular governor's advice on a potential 2012 run.

All three men have been mentioned as potential 2012 candidates. Christie has been urged to run repeatedly by conservative activists despite ruling out a run numerous times, while the three-term Texas governor -- who endorsed Giuliani during the 2008 campaign -- is openly contemplating jumping into the race.

Despite high name-recognition as the mayor of New York during the 9/11 attacks and some visits to the early primary state of New Hampshire, Giuliani has yet to hire any staff or invest in any serious campaign infrastructure this time round.
