Rudy can play all the Primary games he wants. The fact remains that Hillary is cleaning his clock in New York state. There are now TWO POLLS showing that, and Hillary's lead is INCREASING (from 10 to 12%) to boot.

And no POTUS has won without carrying his home state. So Rudy can pick and choose all the liberal state primaries he wants, it doesn't make a dime's worth of difference. Without New York he is t-o-a-s-t. Right President Gore.

Play the Electoral College 'game'. Give Rudy all the states on each coast, even the Carolinas - except NY, that's Hillary's. Go ahead, it ain't pretty. It's a Dem landslide.

(And don't be cheating by giving Rudy any Blue states like IL or Michigan, as that possibility is absurd.)

Wrong. Guiliani consistently leads in the polls in PA, OH, NJ, CT, RI, and NJ. That's more than enough to do it. He may not lead in NY, but he would force Hillary to spend big bucks to defend her home turf--same goes for CA which he has a good chance of taking. Ditto for OR. No other Republican candidate has this kind of electoral clout.

I have Giuliani getting 306 votes and Hillary getting 232
