Edwards v. Rudy 2008-who wins New York?

[Giant Saguaro]

Good one, Boss. I think by 2008 the economy will be in great shape, possibly booming (hopefully booming), Rudy is a moderate to "liberal Republican," it's getting about time for NY to go GOP for a change, so I'll say Rudy would carry NY. But don't worry, Rudy won't get the nomination.

I agree Edwards would likely do well in the upstate portions. But... in the city, Rudy was mayor there and he defeated Dave Dinkins, a black man.

It would be an interesting race, but I really doubt that Rudy would get a GOP nomination. He'd do very well in the northeast, but when the race shifted southward and westward, he'd be deep-sixed pretty quick.
