N.Y. Republican Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro to Oppose Hillary Clinton in Senate Race
August 8th, 2005

Jeanine Pirro, a high-profile Republican prosecutor from New York City, announced Monday she will seek the Republican nomination to challenge Hillary Rodham Clinton in her bid for re-election next year.

I personally tend to avoid commenting on Democrats in office, but personally I’m not thrilled with Hillary’s focus on running for President in 2008, at a time when we should all be putting our energies in 2006. It appears Ms. Pirro takes exception to that as well…

“I am running against Hillary Clinton because New York state deserves a senator who will give her all to the people of New York for a full term, who will not miss votes to campaign in (presidential) primaries,” Pirro said in a statement.

“When Mrs. Clinton first came to us and said she wanted to be a New Yorker, she asked New York to put out a welcome mat and we did,” the Westchester County district attorney added. “But now she wants us to re-elect her even though she won’t promise to serve out her term and wants to use us as a springboard to the presidency. She’s asking us to become her doormat. I believe we deserve better.”

There was no immediate comment from Clinton.

This is hilarious, because she has absolutely no chance at beating Hillary.

8. She doesn't have to.

Here role is to fight a dirty campaign and get Hillary to make a big screw up that will stop her from becoming President.

I kinda hope it suceedes so we get a real Democrat to run. I want a fighter, not milquetoast, DLC centrism.

2. I hope the Repugs pump in boatloads of money for Jeanine

In fact I hope she bankrupts the party, because she hasn't a prayer of beating Hillary.

C'mon you Repugs, write those checks.

Hehehe

3. What about the Nixon guy?

Regardless, Pirro will be crushed.

4. Has Hillary definitely said she wants to run for President in 2008?

I'm just curious because I haven't even speculated on who might run in 2008, or even if there WILL be an election. (In the back of my mind I keep thinking Dimson and Company are just waiting for an opportunity to declare martial law or something and suspend everything).

5. I believe Ms. Pirro was described as

"photogenic" on Washington Journal this morning.

6. What kind of platform is that to run on?

"She won't make a promise not to run for president, so vote for me?"

Well, at least it will help Hillary sharpen her debating skills so they won't get too rusty.

7. What a lying sack of shit. What's with all this "we" shit?

It should read when all YOU voted for her, because I can bet my life that SHE didn't vote for her, and in no way shape or form voted FOR her!

Typical dishonest, lying repuke.

I hope Hillary slams this right back into HER face!

9. She may have less of a chance than Rick Lousy-O did......

....and that speaks volumes.....

10. I think she could be competition for Hillary!

Honestly, when you read about how she supports women's causes, is pro-choice,I wonder why this woman isn't a democrat. She also is well know in NY. I think it could be a very interesting race.
