Lightbulb Colin Powell vs. Hillary Clinton

This trial balloon is now being floated. Get Colin Powell to move back to New York, and run against Hillary Clinton. If Powell does this, it will be a very interesting Senate contest.

Lightbulb

WOW Russ, a very interesting question!

Can you read the headlines already?

White Woman and Black Man running against each other.

Well, I give both a lot of credit, both are strong willed, intelligent and know where a lot of bones are buried!

Hm, wonder if a Howard Stern, Larry King, or Rush Limbaugh would want to run?

I don't think Powell wants to be in the Senate

NY already has two good opponents for Hillary - Rudi and Pataki. I wonder if she would have won originally if Rudi hadn't had the prostate problem?

I don't think Powell wants to be in the Senate, and if he does there are many better places to run.

Rudey doesn't seem to want to run now, and the reason why he dropped out last time was his divorce. The cancer gave him the out that he wanted. Giuliani would have slaughtered Hillary.

He might run if he has presidential aspirations just because being the Hillary-slayer would be the only thing that would restore his credibility with nation-wide Republicans. The reason why many NYS Republicans are wooing Powell is because they are really, really pissed at Pataki. They are blaming him for their setback in the recent elections.

I can think of no better place for Powell to run. He was born and raised in NYC, and he is a moderate. He would drive a stake through the NYS Democratic Party's monopoly on African-American and Carribean-American voters. It would be stroke of genius, and it would send shockwaves throughout the entire American landscape.
