Cox spoke in Manhattan Wednesday in his first appearance before reporters since forming an exploratory committee for the 2006 U.S. Senate race.
Cox, 58, a lawyer who has never run for office, criticized the Democratic incumbent for supposedly eyeing the White House in 2008. "I believe that a senator should focus less on making headlines and more on producing results," Cox said.
"She parachuted into New York solely for the reason of running for the Senate, and now she's running for the presidency. She is more concerned about the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire than the priorities of people in New York," he said
Cox also said New York is disadvantaged because both of its senators, Clinton and Charles Schumer, are Democrats.
"I never thought I'd see the date when our clout in Washington would be so diminished as it is now," Cox said. "She [Clinton] has not been able to produce because she's not in the party in power in Washington."
Cox said he will travel across the state this summer to "engage New Yorkers in a dialogue" before making a commitment to the race.
"To be sure this will not be a listening tour. I am a New Yorker," Cox said, in a jibe to Mrs. Clinton's summer of 1999 travels across the state when she was still first lady. "In the coming months, I look forward to showing New Yorkers that they can be better served."

NEW MOVIE!
How many pictures of the Hildabeast are there with her mouth open and her eyes bugging out? Does she practice that "spontaneous" reaction in a mirror before she goes out? Gosh, it looks so real! So genuine, so sincere! I know she'd never lie or be a phony baloney.
Do I need a sarcasm alert here?
What an effing revelation that is.
Hitlery couldn't serve Cheez-Its well, never mind an electorate of more than 15 million.
Wife of impeached President vs. Son-In-Law of non-impeached President. What a fun race this will be!
This candidacy will go nowhere. Cox is talking about issues that New Yorkers don't care about. A race against Hitlery can't be a race about carpetbagging and pork. It has to be against Hitlery and what she stands for. Kudos to the man for having the guts to run against the bytch.
But send your money to Florida, Minnesota, or some other winnable state. NY will not be competitive unless we find a much better candidate.
Correction:
"She parachuted into New York solely for the reason of running for the presidency.
If you'd been a witness to as many bimbo eruptions as she has, you'd have the look perfected too.
What a great text for a future FReep!
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.
I would be fine with that arrangement. But Spencer has zero chance, as does Cox. It is about celebrity and money, and neither can come close to hillary on either count.
