Sen. John McCain swooped into Rudy Giuliani territory yesterday to announce an endorsement from Alfonse D'Amato, the influential former New York senator, in a hotel in midtown Manhattan.

"I think he is our best chance to win the White House," said D'Amato, when asked why he chose McCain over Giuliani, a native son.

"My support for him is not because there's somebody else in the wings that I may have differences with -- even though that may be true," added D'Amato.

McCain came to the city as recent polls show him leading the former mayor in New York state 36 to 24 percent, in a poll by Siena College, and 36 to 23 percent, in a survey by WNBC/Marist

2. The former REPUBLICAN senator from NEW YORK not endorsing Rudy?

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA! This is just delicious! America's Mayor must feel like he's trapped in the middle of an incredibly slow-motion car wreck!!

6. Not really as big as it sounds.

9iu11iani and Pot Hole Al have been enemies for years. It goes back to the mid 90's when guilliani would not support al's boy for governor and instead chose to support Mario Cuomo for re-election. Al was furious!

4. Who removed the sewer grate and let him out?

That's a name I would have been perfectly content never to hear again.

5. D'Amato better watch his back. Giuliani gets mad and he gets even. He will not forget this public

continuation of the Alfy/Rudy blood feud. D'Amato could not have done more to rub it in Rudy's face.
