Giuliani FL event aide quits over sex, theft charges

Putting together a campaign, even on a local level, is hard work and requires many volunteers. Putting on a national-level campaign is leaving many presidential candidates at risk. Because volunteers are just that, organizers are often left accepting a pig in a poke, as the old saying goes.



This time, it's Rudy Giuliani's Florida race that winds up squealing.


n organizer for a Rudy Giuliani presidential event plans to step down amid revelations of his arrests for allegedly extorting an FSU student in a sex case and his conviction for dealing in stolen state computers.


Barry S. Edwards, 45, told The Miami Herald that the charges against him were ''old news'' --- and were 'unfounded' in the student sex case -- but he nevertheless thought it would be best to withdraw from the Pinellas County Republican Party fundraiser because ``I'm not relevant and I shouldn't be the story.''
