Gillibrand looks set for re-election. King will need to think he has a hell of a case to make to New York voters if he is going to put himself out there and run.
Buchanan met with National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn yesterday to discuss a potential Senate campaign, and was escorted by the retiring Sen. Mel Martinez.
Buchanan’s biggest asset is his personal wealth: When he first ran for the House in 2006, he spent $5.45 million of his own money into the race. He would be able to, at least partially, self-finance a Senate campaign.

Buchanan’s a second term congressman who bought his seat under dodgy circumstances. If he gets in it only makes the GOP primary more entertaining for us. We’d also probably do better against him than against Mack.
