Jeanine to disa-Pirro from race vs. Hil ( Pirro Dropping Out of Race Against Hillary )

Jeanine Pirro is expected to quit her bid to unseat Sen. Hillary Clinton as early as tomorrow, prematurely ending what had been billed as one of the nation's marquee races. Just a few months ago, the smart, aggressive and charming Westchester district attorney was the darling of a Republican Party convinced she was the right candidate who - even if she couldn't beat Clinton - could at least slice into her high approval ratings.

But now, Pirro, 54, is being written off as the first political roadkill of the 2006 election season. And Clinton never even had to throw a punch.

What happened?

"She's been hurt by a lack of money and a campaign that from the beginning has been sputtering at best," said Marist College pollster Lee Miringoff.

Pirro, he said, also fell into the trap of making a central issue of her campaign that Clinton harbors presidential ambitions and won't finish a second term, a claim that, even if true, doesn't seem to matter much to most New Yorkers.

GOP insiders said they expect her to toss in the towel tomorrow when Republican leaders meet in Albany to gear up for next year's elections, which also feature races for governor, state attorney general, Congress and all 212 state lawmakers.

Officially, her campaign says Pirro has no plans to quit, but sources said she will be "drafted" to run for attorney general, a job for which many of her backers say she is well qualified given her background as a prosecutor and former judge.

Mary, nobody can keep up, or is that DOWN, with your abject lack of brain power.

I don't have anything on my personal page here, because I have nothing I want to put on it. That drives you to even more hysterics, now doesn't it? Need your smelling salts, dear?

Keyes was never considered a serious candidate, because he was used BY the IL RINO establishment in an effort to try to discredit Conservative candidates. He received no money, no ACTUAL party support. His mistake was in graciously accepting the nod from those racist RINO cowards who disdained him personally and everything he stood for. As for any debates he held with Obama, the Stepinfetchit for his Massa Byrd in West Vuhginny, he wiped the floor with him. Probably one of the very few instances in the history of American politics when a candidate was better than those he sought to represent.

Thanks. Just when I thought the only thing that was going to give me a laugh on this thread was the silly name calling, you came along and posted this. As with all Keyesians, you stay true to the mantra that nothing is ever his fault. It's all a great big conspiracy against the smartest man on earth. By the way, he's still living in Illinois like he promised, isn't he?

[who knows what evil?]

RINO's are making a LOT of New Englanders residents of other states. Lived in Tennessee for 5 years, then returned to NH. Heading back to Tennessee in the spring...enough of these arrogant, self-absorbed SOB's.

Coming from another chronic-caser who received a factual bitch-slapping from yours truly... ;-)

[nopardons]

Oh yes, some people DO live in the real world; unlike you.

[JohnnyZ]

If she quits, this will be yet another case of the ultra GOPers getting what they all yearn so for........DEFEAT, when victory was at hand.

Series delusions in that head of yours if you dream that your pro-abortion liberal hero had a shot in heck at beating your other pro-abortion liberal hero.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"The factual truth is just killing me. LOL"

Well, just give it up. How much more truth can you take before your puny cranium implodes ?

[nopardons]

You're your own worst enemy and don't realize just how stupid and juvenile your post prove you to be.

[onyx]

ROTFLMAO!

That'll be the day...lol.

She's reaming you. Can't you feel it yet...LOL?

Reading the posts between you two has me doubled over laughing.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Chester, we were discussing the Senate contest. You got your Buckley betters mixed up. That and the fact you don't know that your hero Lindsay never served in the Senate...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! What a maroon !

[fieldmarshaldj]

I can't imagine Pirro debating Hillary. That would be like arguing with yourself in the mirror.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Beaten once again by someone who actually knows political history. You need to just give it up, Chester.

Little boy, I was a Conservative before you were a gleam in your father's eye. You are clueless and couldn't recognize a Dem at 10 paces, nor another Conservative.

One day you might grow up, but that's doubtful.

[JohnnyZ]

Little boy, I was a Conservative before you were a gleam in your father's eye.

So when did you give it up?

[Frank T]

You know what that means?

Thanks...I post facts, they name call, I post how things REALLY work, they claim it's not so, I post more facts, and they bait, flame and name call. Actually, the majority of their posts are just flames and not very good ones at that; poor babies. LOL

[nopardons]

When did I what? Give up being a Conservative? NEVER!

[nopardons]

Yes, now you know, Mary, I don't wish to put anything up on my personal page here...that 1/100th of a brain cell you have, just figure that out?

This is a family oriented site, If you want to be coarse and vulgar, go talk to your mother, since it's obvious that she raised you in a the gutter. But that stench you smell, is you, you, YOU!

[nopardons]

Mary, Mary, Mary....your village is must be so proud that you moved there, they never had such an idiot in their entire history.
