Elizabeth Benjamin at the Times Union's political blog notes that there's a rather bold entry regarding the 2006 New York governor's race over at Wikipedia. According to the entry:

Barring dramatic changes in the electoral landscape, New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, a popular politician in the state, is the favorite for the Democratic nomination. Some political analysts have dubbed the election the "Obama of 2006", in reference to the Illinois Senate race of 2004 in which Democrat Barack Obama won an open seat with 70% of the vote.

Here's another good one:

Taking advantage of New York state's electoral fusion system, that allows for a candidate to run on multiple party's ballot lines, Spitzer gained the early nomination of the left-leaning Working Families Party in January 22, 2005. The deal effectively consolidates Eliot Spitzer's frontrunner status, while cementing the WFP's reputation as a kingmaker third-party in New York.

Got that, Tom Suozzi, John Faso, Pat Manning, Randy Daniels and Bill Weld? The Working Families Party has already chosen its king, so you can stop all that messy campaign work...

The campaign should make for some interesting updates to that entry as the year progresses.
