In Case Bloomberg '08 Doesn't Work Out...
Michael Bloomberg is 2 percentage points behind Eliot Spitzer among New York voters in a hypothetical gubernatorial race, according to a poll released today by Siena.
Spitzer leads Bloomberg 43 to 41 statewide, but Bloomberg leads Spitzer among city voters, 49 to 37 percent. Upstate, Spitzer leads Bloomberg 55 to 24 percent.
Somewhere, Joe Bruno and Fred Dicker are smiling.
Other numbers from the poll show Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani leading their races for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, respectively.

AMERICAN ENERGY WASTE is EVERYWHERE !
Energy waste in America is horrendous, sinful, stupid, and FIXABLE !
(1) We stupidly over heat and over cool our homes, businesses, offices, schools, churches, etc...
(2) 10's of millions of outdoor lights burn during the day.
(3) Most Americans do not minimize their driving.
(4) Over packaging is the norm. Recycling is a joke. Our landfills are as busy as ever.
(5) Road construction in America is the ultimate contradiction and is perpetuated by graft that entail Billions of dollar$.
The ONLY way to reduce energy waste and over demand is by using the economics of taxing energy, in lieu of Federal Income Tax. UNTIL the price of gas is $6 to $8 per gallon, hedonistic America will not significantly reduce its over consumption and energy waste. Federal Gas Tax should be $4 to $6 per gallon and 'offset' by making Federal Income Tax begin at $60k.
ONLY with a tangible/dollar reward will America care to conserve.
In the mean time, the USA continues to stupidly 'give away' its economic and political wealth to the Islamic Middle East via OPEC, so we can continue our energy waste; as if it doesn't matter. Know that the Islamic dominated OPEC cartel is glad to allow supply and demand market forces to drive energy prices to $8/gallon. It is our 'own dumb hedonistic' fault that the Islamics who want to annihilate us will likely succeed; using our American 'gas money' to buy the weapons needed to do so.
China, India, and other 'developing countries' are just beginning to compete for the world's remaining energy supply.
Geopolitical unrest is directly related to global competition for energy and natural resources.
If global demand for energy is not dramatically reduced, World war is inevitable.
Ford and General Motors are headed for bankruptcy, which will leave 100,000,000 Americans unemployed, ruin our economy, and lead to anarchy. America can no longer continue to 'do business as usual'. Unless Ford and GM soon transition to the lucrative business of building solar and wind 'energy producers' for the world's 6.7 BILLION people reason$, they are doomed to die. The world simply cannot continue to support all the automakers. We are running out of petroleum. Wake up !
Mass transit must reward those who reduce their driving and thereby become FREE, SAFE, CLEAN, and CONVENIENT. Only then, will significant numbers of people use it.
America must quickly wake up, get our heads out of our asks, and rapidly implement intelligent sustainable energy conservation, starting with the ONLY workable method; TAXING ENERGY - NOT INCOME!
CONSERVATION MATTERS !
Reduce * REDUCE * Reduce
We are 'wasting away' our Economic
and Political Wealth to the Islamic OPEC
ONLY way to STOP the WASTE is to
TAX ENERGY - Not Income !
