NEW YORK (AFP) - Former New York mayor and 2008 presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani left detailed plans of his proposed bid for the White House in a hotel room, a tabloid reported.
The 140 pages of printed and handwritten text reveal how the Republican frontrunner intends to mount his campaign, complete with detailed plans to build a 100-million-dollar war chest this year, the New York Daily News reported.
"The loss of the battle plan is a remarkable breach in the high-stakes game of presidential politics and a potentially disastrous blunder for Giuliani in the early stages of his campaign," the paper said.
The Daily News said it was handed the dossier, complete with details of fund-raising, budgets and schedules, by a supporter of one of Giuliani's rivals. It said the file was left in a hotel room in an undisclosed location in the run-up to November's congressional elections.
One page in the battle plan reveals aides' concerns that "insurmountable" factors could scuttle Giuliani's run, notably issues surrounding his private business interests, disgraced former aides and one of his ex-wives.
Giuliani's spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.
Polls give the former New York mayor a slight lead over his closest rival for the Republican Party nomination, Senator John McCain.

Might just be a good thing for him not to become President if this is any indication of how he approaches such an important issue.

As much as I like his inspiring stance against terrorists, he is the most liberal of candidates so I'm not going to cry if his run falls apart.

Who was the rival and what hotel employee (cough) gave it to the rival and then to the paper?

I'm sure that "english" speaking and reading maid had no trouble discerning that the book titled, "SECRET: How I, Rudy Guiliani, will become President" belonged in the hands of Hillary Klintoon and not the man who just checked out. Call the INS.
