How New York adjusts to that global economy is going to be the key issue.

It's an example of one of the contrasts between us. I have much more intimate knowledge of the details of New York state.

It's pretty clear that Eliot Spitzer's position is that abortion is fine anytime, anyplace and for anybody.

It's like Albany has designed a car that has an accelerator and no brake.

This is the type of creative thinking we need.

Apparently, Eliot Spitzer's idea of geographical balance is having a running mate on the other side of Central Park. Two Manhattan liberals - who live within a couple of miles of each other - cannot possibly understand the concerns of families in other parts of the state, or even other parts of the city, for that matter.

Our economic distress is self-inflicted. Albany can affect your bottom line often more than your competitors ... It's like Albany designed a car with an accelerator but no brakes ... you're going to crash.

We are very pleased by it. Randy Daniels is a very effective spokesman for the Republican Party, someone who's got a lot of respect throughout the state.
