[NYC Republican]

I'd be shocked in Schumer gets knocked off. Shocked. Even by Giuliani, who I believe won't enter the race.

Schumer already has $15 million in the bank, and is highly revered in most circles- i.e. NY Times, all other lib newspapers, and is not nearly as controversial (on the surface) as Hillary. Controversial being a relative term- his disgraceful behavior during the Estrada nomination doesn't play nearly as badly here in NY.

Sen.Schumer can be beaten IF the GOP play the race card.
The Estrada nomination.
The Anti-God card.
The Estrada nomination.
The Anti-Father, Family card..
Sen. Schumer,Promotes and protects the unjust Family courts system
that uses the corrupt Child Support System to destroy
many good fathers..er
The demoncrats can be beaten in NY,Florida, Ca, Ill,and other states. It's easy,just shine the light on these demons.

Completely agree with your assessment. Didn't King just say he wasn't going to run because raising the money he would need would be a 7-day a week job for the next 18 months? Isn't Lazio still in the hole from 2000? The only one who could raise the money necessary to run against Schumer would be Guiliani - and he's not going to go for it. Rudy is not a team player - the senate is not for him. I firmly believe he has his sights on Governor in 2006. Unfortunately - we are stuck with UpChuckie for a while.

I agree. My guess is Guiliani won't enter the race but even if he does, Schumer beats him. There are plenty of Republicans and Conservatives in NY that don't think there's a dime's worth of difference between them. As a Republican, Guiliani might be able to damage the 2nd Amendment even more than Schumer.
