  A Rudy Awakening
If your serious about running for president and Rudy Giuliani is, you have a dossier prepared looking at your weaknesses because your opponants will mercylessly exploit these. The Guardian is reporting that Rudy has had his nicked by the opposition but it all seems a bit well timed to me.

It wouldn't incredibly surprise me to learn in a few years from the memoirs of a campaign aide that the dossier was deliberatly leaked by the Giuliani campaign. Why?

1) The stuff in the dossier and you can check the orginal story here has nothing in it that was not publicly known before. The stuff on fundraising is interesting but all the campaigns will be making such plans.

2) The timing is suspicious if you had this document and you wanted to damage Guiliani you would release the document at a more opportune time rather than in a political dead season.

3) By getting the baggage out the way now the campaign can move on

4) Guiliani gets to play the victim and make his opponants look bad.

So cynical, so young.

You're right. Have you read his book on leadership?
 
Obviously if I had tory's telling me i'm right to often I would be worried but thanks.

I haven't read his book on leadership but I have read a book by a gatham gazette journo wayne barrett about his political career called Rudy! I got it cheap as it was about pre 9/11 and a new edition must have come out, it doesn't paint a pretty picture.
