No way. If McCall stays in the race it will be impossible for Cuomo to mend the fences he has to in order to have a high black turnout (necessary to beat Pataki). It'll play like NYC 2001-- but with a much larger margin for Pataki than Bloomberg, because the state is not as liberal-leaning as NYC.

Guaranteed.
Nope. No way...no how.
2. The Yankees will win the 2002 World Series
Duh. Of course they would...if you can't buy a world series for 170 million there is something wrong.

Depends on the condition of the war and Bush's approval rating. I lean towards yes.

Yes

Nope. Amazon may hit troubled waters...but they are very innovative over there

I don't think Strom will hold out. But Helen will be with us when my daughter is President.
