The fact that Gillibrand is polling no better than 45% against unknown opponents shows that she isn’t secure and there is a potential opportunity, if the Republican nominee can garner the proper resources.

Wow, the democrats win NY. What a Cinderalla story.

But most voters don't know much about any of them.

That is true. But I'll vote against Gillibrand. She was somewhat reasonable as a Representative but with the Senate appointment she took a nickle tour with Schumer and swung hard left.

How pathetic is the NY GOP?

Remember the first Coakley v Brown poll in Mass? Wasn’t he down like 30 ish? They may be in a better starting position than he was. So if the primary winner catches on and has money then who knows what could happen...don’t write it of yet, not this year!

I’ve met Joe DioGuardi. he’s the one we need.

[dangus]

43% in a two-way matchup. Yeaaaaah, that’s safe.

But most voters don't know much about any of them.

Nor will the voters get to know much about them. The local media will not discuss the issues, and will just ignore the Republican candidates.

The three Republicans fighting it out in the Sept. 14 primary are still pretty much unknown to most of the electorate. The hope would be that the primary winner will use whatever funds he has to start an advertising blitz for November.

As Clintonfatigued pointed out, Gillibrand isn't polling very well for an incumbent, and there seem to be a heck of a lot of undecideds in there. Plus, independents are swinging nationally to Republicans this year.

Everybody plagiarizing D’Amato.

People don’t know anything about them because the campaigns won’t really get started until after the Republican primary.

Blakeman had better be all ready and fast off the mark if he vanquishes the Bear Stearns candidate and the KLA candidate. We have so many issues to zing her on.

[Mobties]

The conventional wisdom is that an incumbent who polls less than 50% is in trouble. It is also conventional wisdom that you can't beat somebody with a nobody.

I don’t have confidence in Quinnipiac’s accuracy.
