N.Y. Republican Stumbles Against Clinton

Monday March 27, 2006 2:48pm

NEW YORK (AP) - It didn't take long before the wheels started coming off Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland's campaign to unseat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Things got off to a promising start in early March, with favorable publicity and several national TV interviews for the wealthy, 54-year-old McFarland, a Reagan-era Pentagon official who spent the last 20 years raising a family and has never held elective office.

But then McFarland was hit with embarrassing disclosures about her voting history, including her registering in two places and missing several elections. Records suggest she did not even vote in 1984, when Reagan, her boss and political hero, was seeking re-election, though she believes she didn't miss that one.

Then The New York Times reported that she had inflated her resume by overstating her rank in the Pentagon and by claiming to have written Reagan's "Star Wars" speech.

Snip...

And recently, she told a campaign audience - jokingly, she later insisted - that Clinton had sent helicopters to spy on her. But the story was splashed across the tabloids.

Democrats are snickering, and former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, a fellow Republican, has declared McFarland's candidacy "a joke."

2. This isn't the "Do I have page 10?" and laughing at a funeral one,

Is it?

[CTyankee]

6. Pirro was the missing page one

I don't know who was laughing at the funeral.

And they call Dems "unhinged."

[ncrainbowgrrl]

7. Nope. They found ANOTHER winner!

:woohoo:

10. Hard to keep track. Remember Edward F. Cox?

Nixon's son-in-law...He was going to run before Gov. Pataki pushed Pirro. So, Cox dropped out.

3. No doubt "KT" was a very successful young republican once

Obviously there are no "conservatives" in New York with large swinging testicles to take on Hillary. Nor any with brain stems.

4. And we thought the fun would be over when Janet Pirro dropped out!

:headbang:

5. What happened to pretty boy Lazio?

He won't try it again eh?

8. Hillary flies a Black Hawk over McFarland's house

and Hillary boiled McFarland's pet rabbit.

9. Alan Keyes for Senate!!!

I can't wait. He's the obvious choice.

11. If the repukes really want to win, they will nominate Hillary

and pretend she will run as a repuke.

It really is funny what the repuke party has become in two very populous states: New York and California.
