It isn't necessary for Pirro to be "negative" about Hitlery, all she needs to do is tell the truth about what Hitlery has done.

The statement that "We won't descend to negative campaigning" means nothing. As bill clinton might say, it depends what you mean by "negative." I got a particular kick out of this zinger:

Instead, Mahoney said, the thrust of his boss's campaign will be to complain that Mrs. Clinton is a "part-time" Senator with her eye on the White House.

If that isn't negative campaigning, what is? It's not exactly a clear statement of Pirro's position on Social Security or the Highway fund.

Agree. It seems, to the LMSM, tellin' the truth hurts the 'RATs...while the sHrILLARY's media shills will "bring up" anything about her opponents' views/lifestyle/beliefs w/ regardlesss of the truth/facts.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Republicans always find ways of tying one hand behind their back.....

[Clemenza]

Maybe it's due to the fact that Pirro has some negative baggage herself.

[MadIvan]

It is far better that she remains sweetness and light in comparison to Hillary. Hillary would suffer in that instance by going negative.

"It isn't necessary for Pirro to be "negative" about Hitlery, all she needs to do is tell the truth about what Hitlery has done."

THAT IS THE PROBLEM...if the GOP tells the TRUTH about a dem, then the dems and the media label it going NEGATIVE.

I fear that they have just announced that they will not be aggressive in informing about how Hillary really is, which will result in a loss.

[Moosilauke]

"Republicans who want us to throw mud at [Hillary] will be disappointed,"

Why does she think they want her to run? Because they love her policies? Politically, she's the same animal as Hillary. The point of running her is to soften Hillary up for the main event. Even a NY Republican can't be too stupid to understand that simple fact.

[AmishDude]

If Pirro (can I be the first to call her Phyrro? Maybe I am the only one who would get it, but still) is as much a Democrat as some FReepers think she is, than this is nothing but a lie.

[AliVeritas]

Well, we do the slinging anyway... not to worry.

She can focus on the record...we can focus on the rest and get it out.

What about critics who say that line's likely to wear thin sooner rather than later?
"Those people have never won a New York statewide election," Mahoney scoffed. "I’ve won many."

OMG, Why do I think that Pirro is going to do about as well as Howard Mills. Who is Howard Mills? The guy who lost to Schumer in the biggest blowout of 2004, yes even bigger of a blowout than Keye's loss to Obama

[jla]

fyi

[Graymatter]

Hmm. Since there is nothing positive to say about Hillary, what other way is there to campaign against her than the negative way? And if one is not going to campaign negatively against Hillary, one can hardly be said to be campaigning at all. Therefore WTF.

[murdoog]

We won’t engage in negative attacks

As opposed to positive attacks?

[Rockingham]

When Republicans do it, telling the truth about opponents is what the media regards as "negative campaigning." Pirro will lose if she keeps to her promise and will get tagged for breaking it if and when she does attack Hillary. This is another example of Pirro's inexperience and lack of substance as a candidate.

Asked about "negative campaigning," the A+ answer for Republicans is to say that all campaign advertising that the candidate approves will be truthful and directed at legitimate issues. The public correctly regards that kind of advertising and comment by candidates as acceptable and useful.

[spectre]

IOW's Pirro is telling Hillary she won't fire the first shot.

Should Hillary go negative, just watch how fast Pirro launches a counter attack.

Go Hillary..go :)
