The reality is that Pirro is going to lose. The lesson of Dole in '96 vs. Goldwater '64 is that if you are going to lose, you might was well lose advancing a positive agenda and strong leadership that helps to build the movement for the long haul.
Agreed. Pirro is no threat to Hillary. It is better to run a strong conservative and make a statement. It will flush out Hillary's views and provide a stark contrast between the GOP and Hillary. She will be the Dem nominee in 2008. Now is the time to get her on the record on a variety of issues.
Well said.
"The reality is that Pirro is going to lose. "
No one is going to beat Hillary. The goal isn't to beat her. The goal is to bankrupt her for her 2008 run. Force her to spend 100 mil and make the race close.
The only way to beat the left is to take away their funds.
That's a good point, and I'm not usually one to go in for "gestures". Pirro really isn't going to challenge Hilary much on substance, so I can't see her doing us much good. If this other guy is bright and sufficiently articulat, it might be better to run him.
You don't run campaigns to lose. "Let's go out and lose this one!" is a ridiculous attitude.
