New York Republican Silly Season Continues
Jeanine Pirro is facing pressure to bow (curtsy?) out of the US Senate race against Senator Hillary Clinton. They want Ms. Pirro to drop out not because they have a better candidate for the race...no, it's because they currently expect to lose all the statewide elections in 2006. They think the Democratic candidates for New York attorney general, Mark Green and Andrew Cuomo, are so badly tainted that if Ms. Pirro left the Senate race and ran for state AG instead, she could beat either of them. She hasn't agreed to drop out yet, but is reportedly thinking about it.
So, just who would run against Senator Clinton? Well, the New York Republican "brain trust" has approached attorney Edward Cox to re-enter the race. These same Republicans who forced him out of the race a few months ago, now appear to think he's a perfect fit. After all, he is the son-in-law of President Richard Nixon. He thought nothing of embracing a badly tainted Republican President thirty years ago. Who better to embrace a badly tainted Republican President in this new millennium?
New York Republicans have looked so ridiculous lately they should invest in big red rubber noses, face paint, and clown shoes.
