Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani can expect to get a big boost to their presidential aspirations in their home region, according to a new poll.
 The survey from the Quinnipiac poll shows both the junior Democratic U.S. Senator and the Republican former New York City mayor gaining the bulk of delegates to their respective party conventions next summer, based on their expected big wins in primaries on held in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut on Feb. 5. Both are also currently the front-runners nationally for their respective party’s nominations, according to other polls.
   “In Albany, Trenton and Hartford, the Republican refrain is ‘Rah for Rudy.’ While 17 other states hold primaries on this February 5 Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Mayor Giuliani can count on their Northeast neighbors to give them an early bumper crop of delegates,’‘said Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll.
 Clinton stands to pick up about 250 delegates in the three states, all of which hold primaries on Feb. 5, and Giuliani 183 – 15 perent of wht he needs to get the nomination, according to the poll.
