It's quite possible that even Rudy can't break through the Rat bias in NJ. And I bet he won't in NY. I think NJ is a possibility, and PA a better possibility.

I think NJ is very possible. And Upstate NY and Long Island are very Italian-American--Rudy would have their vote over the witch in a heartbeat.

Rudy will do well with Italians, and if he does win NY state, that's how it will happen. Unfortunately, he may not do well with (increasingly liberal) non-ethnics, Hispanics, and Jews. After all, D'Amato -- who is a very skilled politician -- was defeated handily by Schmuck Schumer, and that was eight years ago. Politically, NY has gotten even worse in subsequent years.
