Somehow I'd gotten the impression that Rudy was promoting Rick Lazio. Maybe that was for the governor's race.

In any case, it would take a miracle to get a true conservative .... like James L. Buckley .... elected Senator from New York.

And remember, Buckley’s percentage was only in the high 30s. He was blessed with a quite strong liberal GOP opponent (appointed incumbent, after Bobby Kebbedy was killed) as well as a Dem, who split the vote relatively evenly.
