Poll: Clinton Leads Pirro in Possible Race

Associated Press Writer

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has a huge lead over Jeanine Pirro, Westchester County's high-profile Republican district attorney, in a possible 2006 Senate matchup, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The poll, from the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, had Clinton leading Pirro, 63 percent to 29 percent, in a hypothetical matchup.

In May, Pirro announced she would not seek re-election this year, but would run for statewide office in 2006. She indicated she was considering bids for the Senate, for state attorney general or for governor, if Republican Gov. George Pataki did not seek a fourth term.

The poll found Clinton leading another potential Senate challenger, Manhattan lawyer Edward Cox, 64 percent to 26 percent. Cox is a son-in-law of the late President Nixon.

1. Eh, nothing shocking...

I can't think of any NY Repub that could beat Hillary -- that includes Pataki and Giuliani.

2. She should be content to be reelected senator

and forget about the WH.

3. Only Rudy has any chance of beating HIllary for Senator,

and even that would be close and could go either way. Poll I saw had even Rudy only beating her by about 7 points.
