http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/485008p-408347c.htmlOne page cites the explicit concern that he might "drop out of
race" as a consequence of his potentially "insurmountable" personal and political vulnerabilities.
On the same page is a list of the candidate's central problems in bullet-point form: his private sector business; disgraced former aide Bernard Kerik; his third wife, Judith Nathan Giuliani; "social issues," on which is he is more liberal than most Republicans, and his former wife Donna Hanover.
The concerns appear to be listed as issues for Giuliani law partner Pat Oxford to address and are followed by the central question of the campaign:
Are there "probs that are insurmount?" it asks, adding, "Has anyone reviewed with RWG?" Giuliani, whose middle name is William, is referred to throughout the document by his initials.
"All will come out - in worst light," the memo continues. "$100 million against us on this stuff."
The binder's pages are unsigned, but several pages have the initials "AD" circled, apparently referring to Giuliani's chief fund-raiser, Anne Dickerson. She is also the most likely person to have prepared the bulk of the binder's contents, which detail his fund-raising plan.
The pages are photocopied, some including copies of handwritten notes. On one page, two tasks for Giuliani aide Anthony Carbonetti - his closest political adviser and frequent travel companion - are highlighted in yellow.
