New York 2006

Fred Dicker of the New York Post said on "NY Week in Review" that Weld would be lucky to get 25%. What a joke.

He may be polling like that now but once the election gets going it will be in the 40's, same with Golisano.

Correct.  Bill Weld is no Howard Mills.

I'd still be shocked if he breaks 40%. Probably around 37% or so.

So Bill Weld is less appealing to the New York electorate than George Bush?

Well Bush wasn't running against Spitzer, plus he had a bit of a 9/11 bounce that's all but gone now (I bet if the 2004 election was held in New York now the result would be along the lines of 2000)

Spitzer is a bald and abrasive whore.  He has successfully conned the media into perpetuating his name.   He is not endearing in large doses.
Hey, one man's opinion though.
