(Newser) – White House hopeful Rudy Giuliani managed to made a campaign stop at one of the evangelical capitals of America without once mentioning  abortion, same sex marriage or intelligent design, Salon reports. Giuliani, who appeared at Pat Robertson's Regent University, is struggling to win the votes of social conservatives without flip-flopping on hot-button issues they disagree on. 

 "Don't expect you're going to agree with me on everything, because that would be unreasonable," Giuliani said. "Even I don't agree with myself on everything." So far, Giuliani may be getting a pass. Polls say most Americans don't  know Giuliani's stance on abortion.
