New York, NY, Apr. 4 (UPI) -- Ex-U.S. Rep. Rick Lazio, the New York Republican defeated by Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2000 U.S. Senate race, may be angling for a return to politics.

I would think he would be a heck of a candidate for Attorney General if Spitzer is indeed running for Governor! But does he have to use the name "Rough Rider"? Isn't that a condom brand?
Older and wiser, I hope.
The best I remember, he didn't do too many things wrong. He was just David in a Goliath situation.
He's invading that woman's SPACE again! (/lib puke spin)
The media had their senatorial candidate and her name was hilary.
I have seen Rick on Fox News a lot and I am impressed---
The New Yorkers really were stoooopid to vote for Hillbilly!
Good. Loozio can run for Suffolk Country Animal Control Supervisor.
They hated Rudy for cleaning up their city, reducing the murder rate by more than half, cleaning up the subways, reducing street crime, getting the whores off the streets outside the tunnels, cleaning up the grafitti, and assorted other quality of life improvements.
It was their city and they liked it as a hell hole.
And now, not even four full years later, many of the problems are returning under Mayor Blooming-idiot. It is becoming Dinkins time again.
Lazio was not a good candidate. He is a nice guy and was a competant legislator, but that's not enough for a New York Senate race.
After being shunted off to Brooklyn for awhile, I understand the Porno palaces are returning to 8th Avenue again.
Maybe since he has had so many appearances on TV now, and had more national exposure, he will be more comfortable campaigning this time...
He has a good TV presence and is a good speaker---
Meanwhile, he sucked up $40 million of GOP donations and SRCC funds which could have actually made a difference in the US Senate Races in places like say, Nebraska, where Dem. Ben Nelson won by 13,000 votes; Iowa where ultra-lib Harkin won vs. Greg Ganske; Lousiana where Mary Landrieu was incredibly vulnerable. But, what difference would 1 - 3 Republican Senate seats have made in the US Senate during W's first term?

Subway crime increasing.
The news report blamed the increase in crime on the subway on IPODS and cell phones. As if the rider had some nerve using his personal belongings in public.
The Dinkins attitude is alive and well.
Hindsight is wonderful isn't it.
The same is still true today. What was that quote about "Those who forget the past..."?
Oh well - if it looks like Monday morning QB'ing to you so be it.
