Rudy Giuliani
‘s book selling off the shelves,
his personal life apparently in improving shape, and his star ever
brighter inside the Republican Party, rumors in New York have him
mulling whether to run for the U.S. Senate in 2004 against Sen.
Chuck Schumer

Giuliani has been given internal state and national Republican polling data that shows him as by far the most popular politician in New York state. And a recent Marist poll showed the former New York City mayor beating Schumer by more than 20 points in a head to head race. Schumer is committed to running for re-election, say staffers and advisers, but is said to be alarmed at the prospects of taking on Giuliani while at the same time having to share media time with Hillary Rodham Clinton, who in two years has pushed Schumer out of the political spotlight.
“In an election year, a presidential election year, she’s going to be the one everyone wants to talk to, not Chuck,” says a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee staffer. “If Giuliani is serious, Schumer’s situation rhymes with ‘Chucked.’”
