Was running out the door for work so I couldn't listen to the details...but this guy (Republican former Governor of MA) is a New Yorker, now?

1. He is a New Yorker.
Not a bad guy, kind of easy going. He was gov. of Mass., but got bored and took another job. He's more of a liberal than a conservative, and he is originally from NY.

He'll probably win if he runs, but don't expect him to finish his term.

Against Spitzer? Don't be so sure.

3. Spitzer will prevail.
He is admired on both sides in NY.

I seriously doubt it. Pataki isn't running again and Eliot Spitzer has a HUGE lead in current polls. Spitzer's made quite a name for himself protecting consumers and taking on corporate crooks. I think Spitzer's got it in the bag already, and he's a good choice for New Yorkers. He'll serve them well.

6. I'm going with Spitzer
I'll stick with Spitzer...a known commodity here in NY.

5. He ain't no Kennedy
There is no way that he can win. None! Pack it up...

7. I really doubt he could win
in NY against Spitzer but it should make for an interesting race. I remember the debate between Kerry and Weld when he was running Senate and it was good.
