STATE GOP Chairman Stephen Minarik is exhorting the party faithful to open their wallets so that Republicans can "soundly defeat" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton next year, with the result that "her hopes of running for president will wither on the vine."
Meanwhile, an adviser to Gov. Pataki, angered by a top Clinton strategist's dismissal of the governor as "an object of ridicule," responds: "It's obvious that Hillary's people have decided who they don't want to run against."
That's two "What color is the sky in your world?" moments.
Hillary Clinton is in great political shape — and has been ever since she took office.
After all, running as a rookie, she won by a solid 12 points; her 55 percent of the vote equaled the total won by the famously popular Daniel Patrick Moynihan in his last election.
Plus, no New York Democrat has ever been defeated for re-election to the U.S. Senate since direct elections for the office began in 1913.
And Minarik's attack — trying to stigmatize Clinton as a hard-core liberal — hardly seems like a winning idea in ultra-blue New York.
Pataki? He wasn't in such great shape even before the recent drop in his poll numbers. In 2002, running against a hapless Democrat who barely garnered a third of the vote, the governor couldn't even muster a majority of the ballots. And since then, Pataki's been emmeshed in one tawdry ethics incident after another.
The governor may dream of sitting in the White House, but he'd be hard-pressed even to win another term in Albany.
So Sen. Clinton isn't exactly cowering in fear in her Chappaqua basement at the thought of a challenge from George Pataki.

Preserve us, God's fastened the poor lass's gams on oop-side down! Another stout, Patty.
I agree in theory but not in fact. Money alone will not defeat her if there isn't a candidate to go along with it and the Pubies just don't have one.
Since the Pubies can't field a candidate to defeat her, they must defeat her integrity and plenty of time exists to "expose" a scandal or indict, prosecute and convict her so as to topple her.

...she's going to make everyone think she's a moderate. She's not stupid - she knows how to win and WIN SHE WILL!!!...

She would ONLY WIN, if people are STUPID ENOUGH to believe she is anything but a Marxist that has NO INTEREST in the well-being of this country, in preserving America and its founding principles, and certainly IS IN NO WAY QUALIFIED TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, LET ALONE THE PRESIDENT.
Forrest Gump had it right -- STUPID IS, AS STUPID DOES!!!
why not Guiliani?? i hear she is not liked in up-state ny??
Uh huh...........
She has become much better-liked in upstate New York than anyone expected five years ago. Her approval ratings are high. Congressional Republicans from New York have good experiences working with her. She is not going to be defeated in 2006 in New York State and no serious Republican wants to risk his political capital to try. She will run for the nomination for President in 2007 and 2008, and if she wins, she will take 45% of the vote in November and no more.
Eric, you need to get Upstate more often, pard.
yeah I would have thought the one Republican in NY who could beat Hillary is Rudy, but I don't think Rudy is interested in the Senate
because after all Hillary is now just pretending to be Rudy lite, and if she becomes too centrist, sorry pretends to be too centrist, isn't she going to alienate some of the radical left base of the Democratic party? not that they have any other choice to vote for.....
the only other possibility would be if Hillary was embroiled in a scandal even she can't weasel out of, which means Hillary wins in 2006
Who's the ONE to defeat Hillary in 2006?
JFK Jr. is gone. He had dreams of running for
the senate until his plane slammed into the ocean.
Barbara Olsen could speak out against Hillary
on Cable Shows, but her plane slammed into the Pentagon.
No one can stop Hillary.
Is Hillary LUCKY
or is she just Well Prepared?
That would explain her cackle.
>>Don't underestimate the female voters. She is very popular among women voters! <<<
I found a article that details how WOMEN put Hitler in power! (see link below)
The perspective made me think of Hillary's affect on Women, too!
Would womankind really prop-up Hillary's kind of evil???
Or would it be MANS FAILURE to treat woman right that will lead to Hillary's Rise-In-Power?
Many women, especially insecure ones, see Hillary as
"Superwoman" the type who kicks men in the rear and topples
them from power.

(And she's wearing slimming-black-panty hose too!)
Egads!
Do you think if Hillary had liposuction on her
legs she might be happier, have more sex, and
leave America alone???
Let's start a 2006 Fundraiser!
