A former Pentagon spokeswoman under President Reagan launched a Web site Friday to solicit donations for a possible run against Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Republican Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland is still gauging support and has not actually decided whether to run, said adviser William O'Reilly.

Her advisor is named "Bill O'Reilly"? Let's hope she runs a "no spin" campaign.

Kathleen McFarland sounds like a good candidate in theory, but so did Jeanine Pirro.

She seems like a nice lady, but I don't think she'll have any impact whatsoever.

Well, Pirro only sounded good in theory because she supposedly could attract moderate votes and because she was experienced.
This woman appears to be neither.
I'd stick with Spencer. He'll lose for sure, but I don't think he'll lose horribly.

I have some graphics he can use on his site:

I'd love for Ms. McFarland to oppose Clinton. I'd love for anyone to oppose Clinton. But I just can't get too excited about a candidate until she formally makes the announcement that she is indeed running.

Ok lets take off the gloves and talk some hard truths here. This woman is a dead body willing to do Pataki's dirty work. The reason why John Spencer is having a hard time nailing down the New York State GOP nomination is because George E. Pataki doesn't want him to get it.
Pataki has this stupid notion that HE GEORGE E. PATAKI the failed rino governor of a state that is about to become mexifornia East, can be ( drum roll and please sit down ) President of the United States! Yes the head of New York's rino heard actually really no B.S. thinks he can win a series of GOP primaries and get the top spot, or at least enough to get some dope to name him VP.
To do this Pataki needs money. There is just so much GOP money in New York, and no more. Consequently, if Pataki can engineer a senate race in which the Republicans run a dead body like this fraud McFarland, no one will contribute to her and they will give their money to Pataki. If he had his way and thought he could get away with it, Pataki would see to it the Hillary Clinton ran unopposed. Since he can't do that he is doing the only thing he can and that is hold back John Spencer. He is afraid of the name Clinton. The rest of the feckless NYS GOP is afraid of the name Clinton.
John Spencer will give her the fight of her life. The "experts" are completely overlooking this race. They have no understanding of John Spencer. Yes, I am a strong supporter of John's, but the fact is that when you have a Clinton running now and maybe later on one side and a warrior that is not afraid of Clinton or her name, how can this not be the most exciting race in the country?
John will have the money to fight this fight. He has the same fund raiser that generated 40 million dollars for Rick Lazio in just 5 1/2 months. That was when people only THOUGHT they knew how dangerous a Hillary Clinton presidency would be. She only got 55%. If you think that was big, you are not watching carefully enough.
The left thinks they now have the right candidate to run against. They think they can run two campaigns with opposite aims at the same time. I don't. I don't think it took more that a sharp college kid to get Hillary Clinton elected in a state like New York in 2000, with NO real press conferences. Howie Wolfson is no political genius. Neither is she. Will John win? We'll see.
He will get at least the same 46% that John Fasso did. Fasso was the last unflinching Republican to run statewide.
Fasso had about 6.00 in his treasury and ran against a well funded well known Democrat. How can this not be the top race this year?

Interesting post. I hope you're right about Spencer's tenacity and ability to raise cash.
