State Senate Senate
For the last few days, two of the most powerful Republicans in the state, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the State Senate majority leader named Joseph L. Bruno, have kept their growing feud below the surface, with neither saying unkind words about the other. But that ended Tuesday when Mr. Bruno said the mayor should know that bullies end up getting bloody noses. His remarks came two days after The New York Times reported that Mr. Bloomberg might support a Democratic bid to unseat a Republican state senator in Queens an effort that, if successful, would weaken the Republican hold on the Senate.
