She's making a big name for herself as Ezekiel Emanuel's nememis in the Healthcare Wars. She could easily take on Gillibrand and maybe even Schumer.

I would love to see Guiliani (or anyone really) take down Shumer.<br /><br />I understand they are worried about Gillibrandt, because she's vulnerable and that would end the 60 seat super-majority. Of course, if the polling is right, they should be worried about the 51 seat majority.<br /><br />It's going to be an interesting election cycle, that's for sure.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-67586792351818156852009-08-25T17:18:44.808-04:002009-08-25T17:18:44.808-04:00Oh, dear!

All I can say is that if Patterson was actively trying not to get elected, he is doing a fabulous job! Otherwise he's at the very least ineffectual. And to have David Dinkins admonish him is truly ironic. Dinkins used the same excuse when Guiliani beat him in 1993. <br /><br />Andrew - I think that Guiliani could beat Patterson without much trouble. I think just about anyone running against Patterson could beat him right now. The problem is if Andrew Cuomo (our attorney general and son of Mario Cuomo, ex-husband of Kathleen Kennedy) decides to challenge Patterson. As it stands right now, Cuomo says he won't, but that may change. <br /><br />Can Guiliani beat Cuomo? I am not sure. Both are very popular. I am afraid that Rudy may have "jumped the shark" running for President and that may cripple him. He is due to announce if he will run in the next 30 days. He is in a great position though because he has a choice. If not Gov then he can run for Senator. I would LOVE to see him run for Senate against Chuckles the Schumer or Gillibrand!BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-57773074765585717932009-08-25T15:32:53.413-04:002009-08-25T15:32:53.413-04:00DCAlleyKat, I agree.DCAlleyKat, I agree.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-24855995552764347972009-08-25T15:27:26.200-04:002009-08-25T15:27:26.200-04:00Andrew: DCAlleyKat, It will be an interesting elec...Andrew: DCAlleyKat, It will be an interesting election, though third parties simply have no chance in our system. The best they can hope for is to become big enough that the Dems or Repubs adopt their positions. I don't think this election will do that. I think people are so upset at Obama that they will vote for the Repubs to make sure that the Dems go down. I don't think this will be an election where people make a statement by voting for independents.<br /><br />Again I agree, and didn't mean to imply that Independents as a third party would bring the change. I think the political climate is still reeling from the obvious - the country is not as left of center as thought - especially so in reference to Independents. I believe the people are going to continue to inform themselves and confront their elected officials, now that they have been shaken out of their apathy. And I believe they are going to make it a point to remove as many liberals from office as they can on all levels of government.DCAlleyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595521064453455995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-58736614106395059472009-08-25T15:19:47.328-04:002009-08-25T15:19:47.328-04:00Careful Scott, the left has no sense of humor, alt...Careful Scott, the left has no sense of humor, although I should mention that the article on Savino was headlined "Paterson Blindsided by Savino Criticism."
