There is both an upside and a downside to having scummer re-elected without serious competition. When he goes back into office withouta serious challenge, that only means that anything that goes wrong can be blamed on him. Same thing happened with the Schenectady dumbocrats - they raved when the entire platform got elected without any serious challenge, until they came to understand that they wouldn't have anyone else to blame for mistakes that are made. That never makes them feel comfortable. And although scummer always has his mouth open and is always grandstanding, he knows that anytime the savages upstate get unhappy, he is the one they are gonna blame.
And to be perfectly honest, Guilliani may have a lot of following in NYC and as a Republican could win a gubernatoral race against hillary, but he is really just a party switching dumbocrat himself, a former NYC cop who doesn't like guns, a city boy who doesn't like the outdoors, upstate or hunting. If he gets elected as Governor, it will be nothing more than another administration run by the New York City dumbocrats. Probably little or no different than mario cuomo.
Guilliani's best use is as senator. He can take the race against hillary and knock her out of the picture. Once she has been out of the picture for a couple of years (next senatorial then gubernatorial race schedules) she will be forgotten. If Guilliani gets her senatorial seat, that spells problems for scummer, and that's just what he needs.
Look folks, for Governor we need another upstate Republican, one who can continue to slow down and reverse the economic damage to this state done over 20 years of huge carry and mario the cuomo. This state is finally starting to run around after all the abuse the dumbocrats laid on us and I don't want to see that stopped. Let's follow the peter principle and put Guilliani into the senate, get another good upstater for Gov, phase hillary into obscurity and box scummer into the perspective of being nothing more than a loud mouthed downstate free-spendin'liberal. Just my two cents worth here. Mikey.
