<p>  Giuliani's decision to root for the Red Sox <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/10/25/2007-10-25_in_july_rudy_giuliani_swore_he_would_nev-2.html" target="_blank">continues to generate controversy</a>.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10252007/postopinion/opedcolumnists/chucks_slap_at_eliot.htm" target="_blank"> Chuck Schumer is not siding with Eliot Spitzer</a> on the driver’s license issue, says Abby Wissse Schachter.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.nysun.com/article/65273" target="_blank"> Michael Bloomberg says Bill Thompson is wrong</a> on schools.</p>
<p>  Elizabeth Edwards advises her husband, John, and has “<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/25/us/politics/25edwards.html?_r=1&amp;ref=politics&amp;oref=slogin" target="_blank">occasionally stolen his spotlight</a>,” reports the New York Times. </p>
<p>  The country’s largest gay rights group <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/25/us/politics/25obama.html?ref=politics" target="_blank">criticized Barack Obama for his association with a controversial gospel singer</a>.</p>

<p>  Observing Mike Huckabee’s lack of support from conservative leaders (Chuck Norris notwithstanding), Gail Collins writes that they’re “<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/25/opinion/25collins.html?ref=opinion" target="_blank">united mainly by their hatred of abortion and gay marriage, and a desire to win</a>.”</p>
<p>  The New York Post editorial board <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10252007/postopinion/editorials/eliots_miracle_machines.htm" target="_blank">wonders if Spitzer can ever be confident in technology employed at the DMV</a>.</p>
<p>  And Hillary gets <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2007/10/25/2007-10-25_hillary_does_a_tap_dance.html" target="_blank">criticized on the editorial page of the Daily News for opposing an bill on intelligence gathering methods</a>. </p>
