I think Hillary Clinton will be very hard to beat, and that Giuliani is probably the only person who can beat her for re-election.
She has a lock on the various NYC parasite groups who hold such power state politics -- the unions, radical feminists, special interest ethnic groups, etc.
The only way to beat is to nibble on the fringes of her NYC coalition, and deliver a strong vote against her in the suburbs and upstate. That's the only way that the typical dreadful NYC-based politician can ever be dislodged. Giuliani is the one person on the horizon who can do that.
One of the big disadvantages for New Yorkers is that the city holds such a political stranglehold over the state, and it takes a special type of politician to break that.
As far as Giuliani leaving his wife, NY voters are far too sophistocated to care about such an anachronistic concept as marital fidelity. So I don't think it would be a big issue at this point, especially with Hillary as his opponent.
I think she will definitely run for re-election to the Senate. I completely disagree with people who think she can dodge a challenge from Giuliani, and then run for president. If she has to run away from a fight in her "home" state, which is far more liberal than the country as a whole, how could she ever expect to win a presidential election? I pray she can't, because I think having her as president would be one of the most catastrophic calamities that could possibly befall the country.
