By the time voters watch the debates, Hillary will be viewed as scandal free, except for some "petty" sniping by Rudy (which will backfire on him).
Hillary will have the Times and the 3 networks which are headquartered in NYC. She'll have Hollywood, the black vote, Wall Street, the Puerto Ricans, Moynihan, Schummer, Koch, Geraldo, Rosie, Opra, the unions, the teachers, the welfare kings, the immigrants and NOW. She'll have twice as much money as Rudy and twice as many celebrities stumping for her.
And she'll have the voters psychological edge. That is, when people vote republican for president they like to vote dem for congress. GWB will get more than a republican's traditional share of votes in NY, thus awarding Hillary votes of her own. |
