In Hypothetical Matchup, Powell Beats Spitzer This strikes me as an interesting race, although admittedly I know nothing about NY politics.

"Secretary of State Colin Powell (R) beats Attorney General Eliot Spitzer (D) 47 to 42 percent 'in an early look at the 2006 New York governor's race,' according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. However, Powell has given no indication he's interested in the job.

Spitzer handily leads Gov. George Pataki (R) 50 to 38 percent if the two face off.

In a hypothetical Senate matchup, Sen. Clinton (D-NY) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani are in a statistical tie."
