NY GOV-2006: Spitzer vs Guliani

[NewYorkExpress]

With George Pataki not running for a fourth term, Republicans nominate former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani after a contentious primary.

Democrats still nominate Eliot Spitzer.

Does Giuliani face a challenge from his right in the general (probably from the Conservative Party)? Who wins?

[NewYorkExpress]

Eliot Spitzer/David Paterson (D)-60%
Rudolph Giuliani/James Tedesco (R) 40%
Ed Long/George Marlin (CON) 4%

Spitzer beats Giuliani in a high profile race, as New York Republicans are bewildered for why Giuliani did not run for president--a position that he could have won easily than run for a governor's seat that was trending in Democratic hands in a blue state like New York in a Bush midterm post-Katrina and NY economic slump under Pataki.
