The best candidate I can see at this point is John Spencer, he was basically the "Rudy Giulani" of the New York suburbs and was an extremely successful and popular Mayor of Yonkers as well as a prosperous banker and decorated Vietnam War Veteran.
Cox would be my second choice but his biggest positive: instance name recongition from being son-in-law of a U.S. President, is also his biggest drawback (Nixon?!)
Pirro should run for A.G. of NY instead of U.S. Senate. The NY Republican Party really NEEDS a credible candidate to take the open seat with Spitzer out of the way, and c'mon, the "Westchester County District Attorney" is much more credible as a candidate for A.G. than a candidate for the U.S. Senate. The idea that she's the "only" candidate who can beat Hillary is silly. First off, ANYONE aside from Rudy is going have a big uphill struggle. Second, she's a little known RINO with a tainted husband. Cox and Spencer are just as credible.
Pirro for A.G. and Spencer for U.S. Senate.
1- The goal here is to preemptively short-circuit the clintons' 2nd assault on this country.
2- RINO is a plus in NY
3- An alleged mob lawyer husband is a step up from a documented rapist husband (and wife) (this, not even beginning to factor in all of his--their--other crimes, betrayals and utter failures)
4- Pirro, having fought for the abused woman for her 30-year career, is the corapist clinton's worst nightmare.
5- Pirro has star power in her own right; and unlike clinton, she also has beauty, eloquence, intelligence, independent achievements, etc. all of which serve only to underscore what an ugly, unqualified zipper-hoisted fishwife clinton is.
