for governor, that is true. I am not so sure about the senate, because Hillary is the weakest NY state wide Dem candidate. if he still has enough "juice" to beat anyone, its her, especially if some as yet unforseen positive event happens while he was DHS head.
Initial polling for 2006 Senate: Hillary 46% Guilani 45%..she is weak
IMHO, he's unelectable in NY...,ore tot he point..the state has HUGE fiscal problems..and it's getting worse..better to get out now..
