N.Y. Republican: Cox May Make Senate Bid
AP ^ | Dec 23 | MARC HUMBERT, Associated Press Writer

Posted on 12/23/2005 1:16:29 PM PST by mathprof

Edward Cox, a son-in-law of the late President Richard Nixon, is reconsidering his decision two months ago to withdraw from the race for the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the state's GOP chairman said Friday.

"I spoke with him yesterday and he said he was reviewing whether or not to run," said Stephen Minarik.

Minarik said he hoped to have county GOP chairmen meet sometime in mid- to late January, after Cox has made his decision, to consider who the party leaders would back.

Independent polls have shown Clinton far ahead of any of her potential GOP rivals for the 2006 Senate race. Clinton is leading in national polls among potential 2008 Democratic presidential contenders.

He would have no chance! Pirro had a chance, but she faded in the stretch. Save money; forget this race.

Would Cox have a chance?

No. Neither would John Spencer, the former Yonkers mayor who is also in the race on the Republican side. But John Spencer is a conservative who would definitely rough up Hillary!. I'm not sure we could say the same for Ed Cox, a political neophyte.

More truth has never been spoken in fewer words.

If Cox is the nominee, the race will be a referendum on Richard Nixon and Watergate. He has no chance at all. Jeanine Pirro had a shot, but she blew it. I don't even expect her to win the AG race now.

As for John Spencer, I think he has very little chance. But he has the ability to attract media attention and rally the conservative base (not that large in NY). And maybe, just maybe, poll credibly enough to damage Hillary's chances of winning the White House in 2008.

I can just see the N.Y. POST headline the day after the election and the Shrill-one retains her seat.

cox, spencer, golisano, pirro, pataki, weld, etc.
the above names are all interchangeable garbage.
unfortunately, there's no conservative movement at the present time in my home state and there will not be until all the above mentioned garbage is properly disposed, and that will not happen any time soon.
JMHO

The only one that could have easily beaten hildabeast was John F Kennedy, Jr. Well, they made sure he was taken out literally. Is this the reason Ted Kennedy hates the clintoons so much?

How about a "draft Bill O'Reilly" movement??

He's in NYC ... right?

O'Reilly would TROUNCE Hillary, just like he's trouncing CNN and CNBC - could be be convinced to run?

Alternatively, how about Ann Coulter?

its too bad the republicans can't find some celebrity candidate to run - ala Arnold. Hillary is more of a celebrity to the people who vote for her, rather then a politico.
