After some time off to play Halo 2 - beating my roommate handily, by the way - I'm back with more political news.
The big races of the next cycle all put the focus on the greatest state in the USA - New York, baby! Between the governor's race and Senate race of '06, we also have the hotly contested NYC mayor's race of '05.
Bloomberg's approval rating is back up to 49% after being as low as 30% several months ago. It's gonna be interesting to see if he makes inroads with the Latino community.
Governor '06 - I've been saying this for some time - Chuck Schumer is going to run, and win. Eliot Spitzer? Chuck gets to appoint his senate successor if he wins - so guess what deal is going to be made. Spitzer would make a good senator.
And finally the biggie - Senate '06 - Welcome back to Hillary-land. Or Hill-a-palooza, according to the NY Post. Many other names have been tossed out, but I think Pataki makes a run at her - the only way he could get close to a 2008 Republican nomination for President. No offense to Pataki friends out there, but he's been propped up by shitty candidates opposing him in his re-election races. Hillary's machine will wipe the floor with him.
You heard it here first. For the gamers who read this, I'll post some sort of Halo 2 story in the next few days.
