You Hillary watchers out there need to sit up and take notice of this little item in the New York Daily News today. Seems that some are suggesting the tough and brilliant Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro, is considering challenging Hillary -- I'll-do-anything-to-be-president-including-pretending-to-abandon-all-my-core-beliefs -- Clinton, for her New York Senate seat in 2006. Hillary may be tough, but Mrs. Pirro is too. I've been extremely impressed with this lady every time I've heard her speak, on Hannity and Colmes and elsewhere. No matter what Mrs. Pirro's chances of winning, her decision to challenge Hillary -- would be a very good thing.

Hil vs. Pirro in '06? Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro is considering challenging the former First Lady, according to political insiders. The GOP crimefighter, who is running for reelection this year, is not publicly discussing plans for higher office. But Pirro has a dizzying fund-raising schedule and the enthusiastic backing of Gov. Pataki. "We love Jeanine," said a source in Pataki's camp. Sources say it is becoming less likely by the day that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who may be eying the White House, will challenge Clinton for the Senate seat. A Clinton-Pirro contest has the makings of a marquee matchup between two controversial and ambitious women. "This wouldn't be just a battle," longtime Pirro friend and Westchester radio station owner Bill O'Shaughnessy told the Daily News. "It would be a catfight, and my money would be on Jeanine." "There'll be more interest in this than in 'Desperate Housewives,'" he added. Never one to shy from the limelight, Pirro has an active schedule planned. Last night, Mayor Bloomberg hosted a $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser for Pirro at his upper East Side digs. On Feb 10, she will stage a $250-a-head soiree headlined by radio and TV personality Sean Hannity. And this weekend, Pirro is booked to speak to influential Conservative Party operatives. That party's leader, Mike Long, said Pirro's crime-fighting pedigree makes her an attractive candidate to his group, even though she is pro-choice. "I certainly think Jeanine could go toe-to-toe with the senator," said Long. Pirro carries the baggage of husband Al Pirro's 2000 conviction on federal tax evasion charges, which included allegations he fudged the couple's joint returns to support their lavish lifestyle. But O'Shaughnessy insisted she could get around that issue. "You cannot hold the omissions of the husband against the wife who has her own career," he said. Pirro's spokeswoman, Ann Marie Corbalis, insisted her boss plans to remain district attorney "as long as the people of Westchester want her." But Westchester GOP consultant Mike Edelman said Pirro is "taking a good hard look" at the 2006 state attorney general race, and a challenge against Clinton.

But not all Republicans are helping Hillary. In New York state, Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro seems to be getting closer to running against her in the 2006 race for the Senate. Pirro has to be Hillary's worst nightmare. She is a pro-choice woman who even backs Medicaid funding for abortion and a supporter of gun control, affirmative action and gay civil unions. But Pirro is no Democrat. She strongly supports the Patriot Act, making the Bush tax cuts permanent and the diversion of Social Security tax revenues into private investment accounts. She has a tough-on-crime image from her constant appearances on New York City television, with a particular focus on family-values issues such as pedophilia and Internet pornography. Hillary has always thrived off right-wing challengers who flunk the litmus tests imposed by New York's liberal electorate. But, in Pirro, she has met someone whom she can't browbeat over abortion or the usual Democratic issues. Clinton is especially vulnerable to Pirro because Hillary can't pledge to serve out her term if she is reelected. Polls show that her refusal to do so strikes New Yorkers very badly. Having extended the welcome mat to this carpetbagger and taken her at her word that she wanted to be part of the Big Apple, they feel they are being treated like doormats in reelecting someone who will obviously begin to miss votes and focus all her energy on running for president as soon as she is reelected. If Pirro attracts the massive national funding she is likely to get, she can wage a very strong race against Hillary. My bet is that Clinton thinks the better of it and drops out of the race if Pirro comes on strong. Why should she risk the presidency -- and have to spend $20 million -- just to get reelected to her old job? And if Hillary drops out after Pirro has built up a head of steam, it could give the GOP a Senate seat in the most unlikely of places -- Clinton's back yard.

Pirro Blasts Clinton Viagra Giveaway The New York prosecutor who said this week that she may challenge Hillary Clinton for her Senate seat next year is blasting a Clinton administration program that gave free Viagra to sex offenders, saying it was tantamount to "state-assisted sexual assault." "I am outraged," Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro told Fox News. "Because we all know that level three sex offenders - and my office prosecutes them all the time - are repeat offenders." Without mentioning Mrs. Clinton or her husband by name, Pirro railed against the government boondoggle, saying, "By paying for their Viagra, it amounts to state-assisted sexual assault." In May 1998 - during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal - the Clinton Administration told state officials that it "intended to require their Medicaid programs to pay for medically approved uses of the impotence drug Viagra," according to the New York Times. The Clinton Viagra giveaway continued unfettered until this week, when New York State officials discovered that nearly 200 convicted sex offenders were using the program to obtain the impotence drug. Mrs. Clinton's potential challenger said the Viagra program has likely led to further sexual attacks. "My office has prosecuted cases where pedophiles have used Viagra on children, where 86-year-old pedophiles are using Viagra, so they can continue to molest our children," Pirro told Fox. "Shame on us for allowing this to happen," she added. "As long as you have been convicted and are now registered as a sexual deviant, you should not be getting this, because it amounts to the government helping you to assault other victims." In a statement issued earlier this week, Sen. Clinton said she was concerned that the Viagra giveaway "poses safety concerns for the public." But she declined to acknowledge any responsibility for the blunder, insisting instead that the program had been misused. "There is no doubt that the news of sexual offenders receiving Viagra under the Medicaid program is deeply disturbing and runs contrary to the purpose of Medicaid which is to provide health care coverage for uninsured, low-income individuals." Sen. Clinton said she will "explore legislative options to address this issue." On Monday, Mrs. Pirro announced she was considering a run for statewide office, including a possible challenge to the top Democrat.

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.
Basically, once a year all the feminists march around campus saying how strong they are because together they can march around without fear and take back the night. Of course, they don't venture a few blocks into Harlem, but just hang around campus with security protection. Anyway, they accuse everyone in the planet of rape. When they are done marching, they have a sit-in all night where all the women get up and tell everybody how they were raped. One or two of them give a compelling story, but most seem to be making it up.
Anyway, the one time I watched the rally they were so desperate for rape accusations that they had this one girl get up and tell about how afwul the football guys were on the floor of her dorm. I thought she was going to say that they gang raped her. Well, it turns out that all they did was tear the Micahel Jackson poster off of her door. Anyway, she went to describe that as a form of mental rape, etc. etc.
