A new Siena New York poll shows that Clinton and Obama both lead McCain by 7 points in New York.
But there are signs of deterioration in Hilary's numbers. She led McCain by 14 a month ago and has seen that lead cut in half. Obama led by 2, and has padded his lead over McCain. Also: Clinton had a 60-35 favorable/unfavorable rating in January. That's down to 53-43.
The poll also matched up all three candidates on four personal characteristics. Clinton beat both McCain and Obama on intelligence. Obama beat both Clinton (59-22!!!) and McCain on honesty (Clinton ranked last). McCain beat both Democrats on decisiveness (Obama edged Clinton 43-41). Obama won decisively on inspiration over the other two.

Yes, It looks like NY will be in PLAY, That means Long Island will be a VERY BIG BATTLE GROUND. Bot there is one problem. Joe Mondello and the DEAD LEADERSHIP OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. They did not want Reagan in 1980, They did not want McCain in 2008, THEY WERE WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS.
SO I SAY RESIGN, PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT. it is time for NEW BLOOD TO LEAD THE PARTY TO VICTORY IN 2008.
But if you stay, so be it, But DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR A McCAIN WIN IN NOVEMBER.
YOU CHOOSE RUDY, Others joined AL "THE FIX" D'AMATO WITH THOMPSON, BOTH WERE THE WRONG BET.
