Senator Colin Powell? By Molotov - BOOKER RISING A New York Republican congressman urges the outgoing secretary of state to consider running for the U.S. Senate in 2006. Fellow Republicans are throwing their support behind a titanic clash between the venerated moderate Republican and liberal Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Some politicians argue that Mr. Powell's star power would lift the GOP ticket statewide, and provide vitality to the struggling state party. No comment from Mr. Powell about the idea. Hank Scheinkopf, a Democratic political consultant, claims that Mr. Powell wouldn't get a sizeable black vote. The latest Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies poll shows Colin Powell has a 69% approval rating among blacks. With his Jamaican ties - 1 in 3 New York City blacks is of recent immigrant origin - he would make very serious inroads. He would be the Democrats' worst nightmare, because he could also gain among women voters and non-liberal Democrats. And c an someone remind liberal commentator Alan Colmes - who said on the FOX News Channel last night that Powell would be a carpetbagger - that the brotha was born and raised in New York? Unlike Clinton?
