1. This is turning out to be quite a high-voltage tussle over there in New York

State.

It looks as if Giuliani did not want Cox to get this position, and Cox's public statement about Giuliani having a better chance in the Senate race sounds like someone trying to make the former mayor very angry.

Some days ago, Giuliani has issued a statement through a spokesman that he is not interested in pursuing the Senate race.

What fun. May the sparks fly and may the State's GOP go at each others' throats with scythes.

2. OK with me!

Cox has spent time trying to rebuild NYS R party!

3. Yes. It's interesting that someone who has tried to build the State party

up from a kind of beaten-down status is opposed by Rudy Giuliani.

4. Tells us what we already knew about Rudy, eh?

[saltpoint]

5. Yes. There's that subversive, my-way-only part of him that dominates

whatever good there may have been in him years ago.

And his management skills seem to be pretty bad, with frequent gusts of pathetic. That presidential campaign was a disaster outright. He should have hired Cox to run it!
