Since we can't post from The Journal News - you can click on the link for the story Pirro Assembling Team
fyi
Pirro's primary opponent, John Spencer, had this to say of her:
"She's not running to beat Hillary Clinton," she's running to be Hillary Clinton."
Maybe she'll pick a new ideology too. Will it be Marxist or Leninist this time, or perhaps Trotskyite?
Johnny...Progress will only be made when more folks decide to become part of the solution as opposed to being part of the problem.
Can't help but feel that this is all too little too late. When she had the spotlight for a brief time, she blew it. I doubt she can ever recover enough to even be competitive. It's really too bad!
If you live in NYState, you can do some Politicing of your own by using your computer and putting out 10 to 25 pages of Pirro stuff every day.
Get the info off the Pirro page. (Pirro.com)
I wish Pirro well, because she's not running for Senator of Alabama, South Carolina, or Oklahoma. She's runnning in New York, not known for its support for pro-life, pro-gun conservatives.
Incremental progress is better than nothing at all. In any event, this is not about levels of conservativism or even about Pirro at all. It's about keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House.
I agree. It is too little too late. She's not doing well against Hillary in the polls. I believe Spencer can do much better than Pirro in beating Hillary.
Johnny Z,
If you are a regular poster you should know that the Republican party in NY is in very sad shape. Pirro is being put up there for two reasons.....maybe three. She's a woman, she can defend herself verbally from all the Clintons can dish out, and there is a big time belief that only "big tent, socially liberal" Republicans can get elected. See, those socially conservative Republicans have always voted with their feet---and ran as fast as they could to the Conservative party. I was a Dem for about 12 years and just switched to Republican (because of the war and not to be associated witht the Loony Left)----but really don't like what I see. I personally have a big libertarian streak, but the Republican party apparatus has given us the likes of Pataki and Bloomberg--neither of whom I find titillating. So that's what happening here. Probably will vote for a guy named Tom Ognibene for mayor---not Bloomberg. He 's running as a Conservative.
New York picked up 2 new Republican votes in the Electoral College in the '94 presidential election, so it seems the state is moving to the right. I also read that a lot of jews have departed NYC, so they are concerned that the city will fall to the right. Also jews have left the state as well.
Bloomberg is a leftist that ran as a Republican; the leftists do this to try to fool Americans into thinking that the Republican party is moving to the left.
Everyone in NY should become involved in the Republican party; you can make things happen if you do. Otherwise it will sit there on the back burner.
DA Facelift Jumped the Shark when, on the day she announced her campaign, she got lost shuffling through her notes.
That SHOULD be: in the '04 presidential election that the NY Electoral College picked up the 2 new Republican votes. NOT '94.
Pirro can beat hillary without even losing a manicured fingernail, and hillary has the polls to prove it. She is scared silly of the gorgeous and poised Jeanine.
I don't remember a Presidential election in 1994. Besides last I looked 1. New York City is the only part of the state gaining population (thanks to immigration and yuppification) and 2. New York State has given all of its electoral votes to the Dems since 1984.
Whoever those morons in the New York State GOP put up against Hillary will go down like a Staten Island Cocktail waitress on an NYPD officer. I'm still pulling for Spencer, being that NY remains my home state.
And the story about the new Republican votes in the NY EC was also in the news, and can be found with a little bit of effort with a search engine.
Spencer has had some pretty good lines so far. He's speaking at one of Young Republican clubs in NYC tomorrow evening. I will try not to miss that.
Thank you Don Quixote, but New York State is winner take all in the electoral college. The suburbs are more Democratic than ever. I do agree, btw, that the GOP should do more outreach among Evangelical Hispanics (and there are many). The problem is that the secular leadership of the New York GOP doesn't know how to "relate" to Evangelical Christian voters.
Fears with primitive and wild loathing, is more like it.
