NY 2010: Rudy's Got Some Competition...

[Lunar]

Ultimately, Lazio is probably who we can thank (I mean that sarcastically) for Obama.  If his campaign the first time around weren't such an epic fail then we would have had no Hillary to raise Barack Obama's status.  Without a "Hillary" for there to an "anti-Hillary" Obama does not emerge from the field.

Anyway, if Lazio were discovered in a ditch tomorrow, I wouldn't shed a tear.  Waste of oxygen.

part of the reason why Lazio bombed, of course, was that Guiliani played footsie and dropped out of the race

Rudy is only going to enter if he thinks he's going against Paterson, it's that simple.

Lazio is pissed at Rudy for dicking around with him last time, so he's in it this time preemptively (and he has no congressional seat to lose this time), so that he can take advantage of the situation if Paterson ends up being the Democratic nominee

obviously no Republican would be in this race now if Cuomo announced

[Lunar]

Suozzi will probably run for AG once Cuomo's in.

Not Lt. Gov?

On a side note, why does everyone want Cuomo so bad if Paterson steps aside? 

he polls the strongest and has been gathering a populist record since the financial crash by making media stories pretend-prosecuting fat cats
