In an early stumble for the Giuliani campaign, the NY Daily News has obtained Rudy's detailed battle plan for his presidential run, outlining his fundraising strategy to raise $100 million this year "as well as his aides' worries that personal and political baggage could scuttle his run."

The piece says:

The document was obtained by the Daily News from a source sympathetic to one of Giuliani's rivals for the White House. The source said it was left behind in one of the cities Giuliani visited as he campaigned for dozens of Republican candidates in the weeks leading up to the November 2006 elections.

Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel suggested there were political dirty tricks behind the loss of the documents and called the timing suspicious.

"I wonder why such suspicious activity is occurring and can only guess it is because of Rudy's poll numbers in New Hampshire and Iowa," Mindel said.
