Report: Giuliani Targets $100 Million in 2007

The presidential campaign strategy for former New York Mayor Rudy 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, though Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel told the paper the "suspicious activity" was a dirty campaign trick.


The schedule includes a plan to raise at least $100 million in 2007 by reeling in big Republican donors like Fred Smith, the CEO of FedEx, the paper reported. Smith is already supporting Senator John McCain's bid.


The document also predicts some $100 million could be spent against Giuliani to highlight political vulnerabilities like his three marriages and moderate stances on social issues, including gun control and gay rights.
