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

NY Daily News ^ | 12/12/05 | JOE MAHONEY

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.

When you master the English language, please get back to me. This post is one of the least cogent, most grammatically incorrect, ever to be posted to FR.

When did DU let me out of what? I was never on DU. DU has nothing whatsoever to do with me.

When you at last manage to lean to write coherently and something of value, let me know. LOL

[nopardons]

You are so removed from factual historical truth, but so embed with your delusions of grandeur and competence, that you bold your craziness. CONGRATULATIONS, Mary, you just keep on posting and let the world know what kind of a screamer you are. LOL

When you pry yourself out of that gutter and somebody finally takes care of your mental conditions, perhaps there will be some person who might take you seriously; though I rather doubt that, sewer mouth.

"SIC" is only used to point out a misspelling.

You don't know anything at all about JVL's history in Congress, nor anything at all about the Silk Stocking district. But go right ahead and make things up; after all, that is what children and the deranged do.

Mary, dear, go do have a lie down...you appear to be far too overwrought to think straight.

[nopardons]

You lost your mind and the "argument"? long ago; Mary. You're dead, but are far to stupid to realize it.

[nopardons]

You must be a masochist. Sorry about that, but you really need to go find yourself someone else to beat you to a bloody pulp. Your mother, perhaps; surely she'll give you a discount. :-)

[nopardons]

Oooooooooooooo...another senseless post. Are your trying to get your posting count numbers up? :-)

[nopardons]

Sorry Mary, I don't know what meds you skipped, but you certainly need to take them...ASAP.

[nopardons]

Well, that would be a massive improvement, Mary and would even raise your IQ. Stones are smarter than you are, any day of the week.

[nopardons]

You are just sooooooooo right, yes indeedy, absolutely, those are my sentiment...........NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!

But it's so much easier now isn't it, and not really taxing at all, to write such drivel, than to really engage in a debate. Oh dear, I quite forgot, you actually have to KNOW SOMETHING, before you are capable of debating. Sorry about that, kid, when you finally learn some facts about this, oh say in 50 years or so, it'll be too late.

[nopardons]

Oh deary me, when confronted by your "logic" and "knowledge", I just get quivery all over. ROTFLMSO

This from a man who thinks that Elvis wasn't born in Mississippi, has soft porn plastered all over his personal page, and delusionally imagines that he knows anything at all about politics and history. It is to laugh!

Your lobotomy was botched, I take it. Elsewise, why would there be that huge cork in the top of your wee head.

[nopardons]

Thanks! :-)

[nopardons]

No, Mary, I got nothing "mixed up " at all. And you were the one who said that if a true blue Conservative ran, you know, gave "the people" a REAL CHOICE, they'd vote for the CONSERVATIVE. Well, Mary, is William F. Buckley a "REAL" Conservative or not?

And 1) I never said that Lindsay was a SENATOR 2) you are the one who also threw in governor, so no, you weren't just talking about a "Senator" 3) you know far less about this topic than even I suspected.

[nopardons]

Mary, yet another senseless post/notch to add to your total? Is there a contest?

17 totally nonsensical posts in a row with no response. You're getting close to the record so I think I'll break up the streak. Now you can start all over at 1!

"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."

Are you kidding? Pirro would not even have gotten 40% against Hillary. I mean, Giuliani could beat Hillary, and Pataki (who would get the Conservative Party line as well, since he is pro-choice on abortion but not an extremist on social issues) could make the race very competitive, but Pirro would have had NO CHANCE, and she knows it (why else would she drop out?). I wish Pirro luck in the AG race if she switches to that race, and she might actually win that race (I hope so, anyhow), but she just doesn't have what it takes to run against Hillary.

My dream ticket in NY would be Giuliani for Governor and Pataki for the Senate. Unless those two gentlemen run, we can't beat Spitzer and Hillary. So, if we are going to lose anyhow, we might as well nominate candidates who will be standardbearers for the GOP's principles and who may help convince inner-city voters that the Democrat Party has abandoned them on moral and cultural issues. So, unless better candidates come forward, I will support Randy Daniels for Governor and John Spencer for the Senate.

"Pataki should have sat down after his two terms and run for Senator against Hilly in 2000."

I agree, and he might have won. Unfortunately, Rudy wanted to run for the Senate, so it was a non-starter for Pataki.
