CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. (AP) - Even by the scenic route, past the weathered stone walls and long driveways of some of New York City's wealthiest suburbs, it's only 14 miles from Hillary Rodham Clinton's big colonial in Chappaqua to Jeanine Pirro's modern mansion in Harrison.
The homes are different, but not far apart - a lot like Clinton and Pirro, the leading candidates in the 2006 election for U.S. senator.

Of course, Clinton attracts attention wherever she goes, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is popular around the globe. Pirro is not yet well known even around the state and her husband, Albert Pirro, is a convicted tax evader she is not likely to show off much.
``If there are big issues differentiating them, I'll be darned if I can see what they are,'' said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
