A new statewide poll says Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead over potential Republican opponent Jeanine Pirro has slipped but still remains strong.
The WNBC-Marist College poll had Clinton leading the Westchester County district attorney 50 percent to 28 percent. Clinton led Pirro 64 percent to 28 percent in an April poll from Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie. The new poll was conducted Tuesday, one day after Pirro announced she would seek the GOP Senate nomination.
A majority of New York voters, 56 percent of them, said they didn't know enough about Pirro to form an opinion about her.
Only 35 percent of voters said they wanted Clinton to run for president in 2008.
Marist's telephone poll of 400 registered voters has a sampling error margin of plus or minus five percentage points.
During the Scott Peterson trial, she came across as pro-death penality.
Hopefully Hillary will be the Dem nominee for Potus-she would get crushed. I have no idea why FReepers are afraid of her. She sounds like the Aflac duck.
So which one is better?
And that will be a huge publicity hoot against her thighness. If Jeanine Pirro makes her cower and duck for cover, she'll not have a prayer to win the Presidency.
This really is amazing news. Imagine Kennedy getting only 50% support the day a challenger announces. Doesn't mean Pirro will win, of course, but it indicates the ice is cracking and she CAN win.
And yet, we in the commonwealth somehow managed to survive with only one senator. It's not like losing a lung or a kidney. The entire Mass. congressional delegation could be beamed up to the mother ship tomorrow and nothing would change here in the people's republic. The argument that somehow NY gets victimized if their senator cuts short her term in office is hollow. If they dislike her, then they'll be happy to see her go; if they love her, they'll be delighted that now she's king of the mountain. This same weary argument gets trotted out every time an elected official makes a grab for the golden ring. It's fine to despise HRC (how can you not?) but let's not pretend that we're all upset that NY will no longer be represented or that Schumer will have to work 80 hour weeks to carry the double burden.

Do you mean to tell me that in all of New York state, there isn't one conservative willing to run against Her A$$holiness? Why do you feel the need to "settle" for the first RINO that comes along??
Let's hope this is the beginning of better things to come.
The day Hillary became Senator she got her choice of offices, she got placed on the Armed Forces Committee, she was a power in the Senate. Pirro will come in as low man on the totem pole with a basement office behind the toilet a position on the clean up committee for the elevators and no ear for anything she says. So she is a RINO better that than Hillary.
Most conservatives I know would vote for the devil himself over Hillary Clinton. I just want her beaten. If a RINO is elected in the process, so be it. Our country can NEVER let HC become President.
Cosidering that most voters say they don't know anything about Pirro, 28% is a darn good start. And you gotta admit, she's 1,000x better looking than Hillary, who looks more bedraggled every day.
I have a feeling that Pirro will have a accident if she gets in the way of the spawn of lucifer and her rise to power.
HRC is a vanity candidate, and I think she's in a really tough spot right now--if she doesn't run, people will see it as the first sign of fear, that she was afraid of losing, and also her naked ambition for the job will be undeniable to those three people in the country who think she was truly interested in the job of senator.
It's funny how not long ago people in this site were lecturing me and others for suggesting HRC was anything but a lock for 2008.
"Why do you feel the need to "settle" for the first RINO that comes along"??
"New York state"
You answered your own question! ;-)

Pirro has put !Hillary between a rock and a hard place.
