Poll: Hil, Eliot would beat gov -Gov. Pataki would be crushed by Attorney General Eliot Spitzer if he runs for a fourth term next year - and he'd fare even worse against Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new poll shows. -Clinton also would trounce former Mayor Rudy Giuliani if he decides to take her on as she runs for reelection next year, the Siena College survey found. "After 10 years as governor, George Pataki does not have the support of the majority of New Yorkers," said Joseph Caruso, director of polling for the upstate college's Research Institute. "As things stand now, he couldn't get reelected to a fourth term and he'd get crushed in aSenate race against Sen. Clinton." -Spitzer, a Democrat who has announced he's running for governor, would outpace Pataki, a Republican, 51% to 35%, in a head-to-head race, the poll showed. Clinton (D-N.Y.) would topple Pataki, 58% to 32%, in a hypothetical matchup for her Senate seat. And she'd do nearly as well against Giuliani, beating him 52% to 42%, the poll of 621 registered voters found.

Finkelstein forming anti-Clinton PAC

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Conservative Republican strategist Arthur Finkelstein, a political guru to New York Gov. George Pataki, is starting an anti-Hillary Rodham Clinton, "Stop Her Now" political action committee, a fellow GOP operative said Monday.

A top Clinton adviser said the move was evidence Republicans plan "a negative campaign of lies and distortions" against the former first lady in her 2006 bid for re-election to the Senate.

The GOP operative, who is familiar with Finkelstein's plans but spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the "Stop Her Now" offensive would be aimed at defeating Clinton in 2006 as a means of thwarting any move by her to run for the White House in 2008.

New York magazine, which first reported Finkelstein's plans on Monday, said the Pataki adviser hoped to raise more than $10 million for the effort. <snip>

1. Well, if Finkelstein does a good a job as he has pushing Pataki..

there isn't much to worry about. She's bulletproof in NY, and I think the Clinton's can more than handle themselves with this jackass. They'll chew him up and spit him out.
