Will Weld break 40%?

Probably.  The problem though for him would be whether the Conservative Party backs him.  He's extremely liberal on social issues and it's a big leap for some of the conservative party leaders to support him.  If they do, he probably loses by about 10-15%.  Without them, he doesn't break 40%.

I'd consider supporting Weld, I like him personally, he's probably closer to me politically than Spitzer, and I have no problem voting Republicans into state offices if I like them.  Federal elections are a different story.

Um...you don't think Weld will actually be the nominee, do you?

who else does the NYGOP have?  Golisano I guess, but I don't think Golisano would get the nomination.

and we all know a 10 point gap never closes. 

Presumably Senator Bowles told you that?

that's right. 

by the way, bowles is set to become president of the 16 campus unc system.  a pretty prestigious job.  perhaps his political career isnt over yet after all.

Bowles will run for senate once more, probably in 2008 if Dole retires.  I don't think he wins however.
