The obvious big story is: "What will Rudy Giuliani say?" (After all, several conservative leaders threatened to bolt the party if he wins the nomination).

My guess is it will go something like this ...

3. I will appoint "Strict Constructionist" judges. A President can't overturn Roe vs. Wade himself, and let's be honest, the most important thing we can do is appoint good judges.
