Cuomo may be running — he has announced an investigation of Acorn.
How weak is Lazio? He can’t even beat Paterson.
When do they start polling Hillary?

Aron,
Don’t you think Rudy would have to run a fairly “populist” campaign to defeat Cuomo?
Look at the numbers. He’s losing upstate New York at the momemnt to Cuomo and losing badly among the wealthy and those making under $50,000. It seems that the best strategy would be to try and win the $50K to $100K crowd by a lot given Cuomo’s strength with lower and upper income voters.

Rudy’s not afraid of losing, he’s afraid of winning. And as long as that’s the case, he shouldn’t run, because it means he’s not up to the task. As for New Yorkers, they deserve to be “governed” by somebody like Paterson. The state is pathetic.

What was the percent of independents who wanted Cuomo to run? Just curious – it’s not up top.

I’ve written this here about 5 times and I will write it again:
Rudy would NOT beat Cuomo in NY. Sad, but true. He should try another run at president, or write a great book and work for the next nominee.
