This is great, I can't quit smiling...

Republican success in building momentum for Pirro will be tough: first because her chances are still in the slim category

"slim category" --- not Hillary's butt and ankles. Oh, I feel so petty................ tough.

;-)

Republican success in building momentum for Pirro will be tough: first because her chances are still in the slim category, but also because they will be up against the Clinton strategic and tactical genius

Baloney -- "strategic and tactical genius" --- anyone could win an election when the majority of the media promotes and protects them!

Hillary is a stiff.

But in an odd way, at least one of the most popular weapons in the Clinton arsenal may not work. Previous opponents have tended to be goody two-shoes types, against whom almost any real or invented demonization induced shock and awe among the voters. In Pirro's case, they'll have to work extra hard to come up with anything more damning than a philandering jailbird husband, which Pirro has already disclaimed, thereby eliminating its shock value.

This is the ingenius part, who thought of running this woman against hrc!?

[beyond the sea]

I don't know who may have picked Pirro, but she speaks well and is one tough cookie!

Not bad on the eyes either.

Pirro will win! The debates are going to hurt HilaryCare. She will most likely only allow one for that reason.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

Did you ever have your celebration last night, and will you be making an appearance on Letterman?

[rodguy911]

Just so you will know the Ann Coulter rule(photos a must)has been invoked on all mentions of Jeaninie Pirro. Photos a must on any thread mentioning our next Senator from NY.

[rodguy911]

Jeaninie is a "hottie"

Westchester County District Attorney Pirro, once named by People magazine as one of the Fifty Most Beautiful People, is tough, smart and still gorgeous.

Not smart enough to ad lib a speech for 30 seconds while she found a missing page. Instead her audience was treated to 30 seconds of stunning SILENCE. Pirro does not have what it takes. Hillary, like her husband and people like Gingrich, can ad lib for hours if need be, complete with precise figures, facts and dates.

[rodguy911]

Let's hope she can knock Hillary out it would be great for the country. Anyone can have a bad day.

If Hillary was going to run for the Senate, she would have OFFICIALLY announced it by now.

She has waited to see who was running on the Repub ticket. The Dems are busy thinking about who to run against Pirro and/or Cox.

Hillary also has to contend with the Able Danger situation which is up in the air. After all, she's running on Bubba's legacy.

Please note that Howard Dean hinted that there are male candidates who are not willing to step aside. His tone sounded as if he supported one of them rather than Hillary.

Hillary does not ad lib well. Her every word is contrived and controlled. AFAIC, Pirro would kill her in a debate.

[surrey]

Exactly, tactical genius my you know what. The only genius is their ability to control the MSM.

[montag813]

Hillary does not ad lib well. Her every word is contrived and controlled.

Depends on the venue. When she testified without notes before the Senate committee for 4 hours on healthcare reform in 1993, it was incredible display of raw intelligence. But then I agree she is a piece of driftwood on the political stump.

[montag813]

Hillary also has to contend with the Able Danger situation which is up in the air.

It looks like Jamie Gorelick's old legal subordinates at DoD managed to shred Able Danger's files while the nation was embroiled in the 2000 FL recount. That wont be helpful.

[surrey]

Who in the MSM would dare confront the witch on Able Danger...right.....no one.

[Sacajaweau]

When 9-11 happened. I thought back to the election and was thinking that the terrorists must have loved the election controversy.

I'm sure they were rooting for the Dems as that would be a "Find them and convict them" Bubba scenario. Voila....The terrorists were dead...No one to convict. The Dems never would have gone to Afghanistan.

IMHO, The Anthrax letters were sent to two Media monsters and two "Stupid Dems" who lost the White House.

"Not smart enough to ad lib a speech for 30 seconds while she found a missing page..."

Better this happened now, rather than later. Hopefully, Ms. Pirro will learn from this and either have her speech papers in order or learn to ad lib. I think she will get more eloquent and will be a more powerful speaker as the campaign goes along. For all her years on the public stage, the Heinous Harridan has never been an effective public speaker (especially when she goes into one of her shrieking invectives). She cannot think on her feet and needs to follow a script. Her constant use of "you know" is annoying, as well.

[Marysecretary]

Gee 30 whole seconds! How awful for those poor people. I'd rather have someone who can beat Hillary than a b-s-ing bag of wind.
