It's official

Spitzer is in the hunt for Governor of New York and Pataki's peeps are strongly hinting he will run for a fourth term. Many questions still remain:

1)Is the GOP going to give Hillary a pass in '06 if Pataki runs for governor instead?
2)What does Guiliani do?
3)Were those rumors about Colin Powell just rumors?
4)How hard will it be for Spitzer to take down Pataki? And he will take him down.

My guess is the GOP will give Hillary a pass in her Senate re-election, and focus the Hillary-haters like a laser on trying to torpedo any race for the Dem nomination in 2008, early.
