group of people trying to kick the President out of office and now we have a group of people trying to drag her in. It's just, the juxtaposition is unbelievable. I think she could handle whatever she needs to handle. She has shown this year an unbelievable grace under pressure and has handled publicly things that nobody in the world has ever had to. If she wants this job, I have every faith that she'll know how to go about dealing with all the various things in the New York press, in the New York political system that she needs to. It isn't going to be easy. I don't take it lightly. I think the real question is whether this is the right choice for her. And she's going to take some time to figure that out.
CHRIS WALLACE: All right, well let's talk about that. As long as she's out there it freezes the race, Mandy, for any other Democrat. How long, realistically, does she really have to make up her mind?
MANDY GRUNWALD: I don't know if there's any specific time line. She said she'd make a decision later this year. I certainly think, you know, having worked for Senator Moynihan three times, I'd like the seat to stay Democratic and I'm sure he would, too. would be the best chance, I think, of assuring that, but Nita Lowey would be a strong candidate and there are probably others out there. I don't think there's a magic date. I think should take the time to make this decision right and if she doesn't run I assume she'll work very hard for whoever decides to.
CHRIS WALLACE: We've only got about 30 seconds left so I'm going to ask you all to share it and be brief about it. We know all the reasons why Mrs. would flirt with it, but let me ask, and start with you, Senator D'Amato, when it comes right down to it, what do you think, will she or won't she?
AL D'A
