Griper Blade: Giuliani Plans a $100 Million Campaign -- Just Like Everyone Else...

There's some question as to how the New York Daily News got hold of presidential hopeful Rudy Guiliani's campaign strategy. The loss of the 140 page document reveals a pretty uninspired campaign. Team Rudy knows that he'll be attack for his support of issues like gay rights and gun control, as well as his three marriages. I could've told him that.

He'll also be hit for his career as the mayor of New York City. Bernie Kerik -- who went on to become a high profile Bush scandal as a nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security -- was Rudy's police commissioner. There's his own high profile scandal, with the very public affair with Judith Nathan while divorcing his wife.

You've got to wonder why Rudy thinks he has a chance in hell.

So, of course, with all of these meaty issues to deal with, Associated Press get's right to the heart of the matter:

The presidential campaign strategy for former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani includes a $100 million fundraising target for this year.

The 140-page schedule for the Republican's budding presidential bid was reported in Tuesday's editions of the New York Daily News.

The paper said an anonymous source obtained the document after it was left behind on a campaign trip in 2006, but Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel claimed it was taken from a piece of airline luggage.

"This wasn't left in a hotel," Mindel told The Associated Press. "This is clearly a dirty trick. The voters are sick and tired of this kind of thing."

Mindel said a Giuliani aide lost a piece of luggage containing the paper.


Why, the document was left behind -- as the Post claims -- it was left behind in a piece of luggage. I guess there's some kind of difference.

But the big news, in AP's opinion, is in the first paragraph. Giuliani plans to raise $100 million by the end of the year.

Here's the thing, that's not news at all...
