Some people are talking as though Pirro has the nomination. She doesn't.
Republican primary voters may prefer a more conservative Republican, Edward Cox.
I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I find it highly implausible that the NY GOP is going to run a conservative. They haven't done that in decades.
Hell, the NY GOP can run Hillary on the Republican ticket for all I care. Hell, considering current events, I'd say they already are.
