Former MA governor Weld running for NY governor

[YRABNNRM]

Give Weld some time to get his name out there and his record as Mass. Gov. and polls will begin to thin. I'm not saying Weld will beat Spitzer but it certainly won't be 60-20.

[YRABNNRM]

I think Weld could break 40%.

I think Weld could break 40%.

Possible, but highly unlikley, i say he will be around 35%,  Spitzeer 62% Weld 35% thrird party 3%

If he could win two terms in Massachussettes what would stop him from only breaking 40%.

[YRABNNRM]

I'd have rather seen him stay in MA and run against Ted Kennedy (even though he'd still lose-I'd still be glad to support him).

He currently lives in NY so he would have to carpetbag back to MA

As for winning in 1994. Politicans tend to win re-election after doing a good job for their term.

And he could do well here after doing a good job in MA.

And I believe he grew up there, too.

Yes he did. Not that far from where I am if I remember correctly.

His opponent who has had approval ratings in the 60's, with very low disapproval & Net approval in the 40-50% range

Alright. We'll see when the campaign starts.

Would Golisano running yet again hurt or help Weld?  I'd imagine some Golisano supporters voted for Spitzer in that poll.

Right now I see Golisano running against Weld in the primary. I'm not sure if he would still run after that.

[YRABNNRM]

Weld wasn't imported. He's lived here for the past five years and he also grew up here. It's not out of nowhere like Hillary.

The NYGOP almost had nothing to do with Weld I believe, He entered the race on his own, which is why some NY Republicans(like State Senator Bruno) are pissing and moaning.

Weld is as good as the NYGOP is gonna get in this race.

[YRABNNRM]

Great idea on DU: During any debate, ask Weld what baseball team he roots for. If he says Yankees or Mets, he looks like a cheap panderer. If he says Red Sox, well that won't go over too well.

Yea that will matter...
