Giuliani said he had nothing more than a professional relationship with his former press secretary, Cristyne Lategano, but declined to elaborate further on the past. I've said everything I was going to say about that a long time ago. Cristyne Lategano was an excellent communications director. She did a great job for the city of New York. The viability of Giuliani's much-publicized candidacy for New York's open Senate seat has fallen into serious doubt since his April 27 cancer announcement.
Today marks exactly two weeks since that announcement.
Questions about Giuliani's candidacy have multiplied exponentially since with the developments in his personal life. Donna Hanover makes her statement. Giuliani addressed such speculation head on, saying he has spoken to no one about dropping out of the race and asking a local news channel to apologize for reporting that he was ready to quit. I'm going to spend another hour today with another doctor, and I'm trying to clear my mind as much as possible, because I have to make a very, very important decision. I very much would like the opportunity to carry on my public service, yes.
