Now they're trying to get Lazio to switch races from Governor to Senate against Gillibrand. By "they", I mean Alphonse D'Amato and crew.
why?
Because Cuomo will ultimately run for governor, and Lazio wouldn't have a shot. He'd have a shot against Gillibrand - and the Republicans don't seem to have many big-name candidates willing to stand up and run in a statewide race. The bench is thin (though in the process of getting rebuilt).
um... the same Lazio that is running neck and neck with David Paterson in the polls?
