Sorry to publish this 2 weeks after it appeared but just figured I would get Ed Cox's name out there as the 2006 NY Senate race is on the horizon.

Cox will need all the help he can get in this race to derail Hillary as the NY state Republican party is in shambles...making it that much more difficult to take on Hillary

Stay away from the park, Ed.

He was on John Batchelor's radio show last night.

I'm not a NYer but from what I hear, there is a lot of discontent among many county chairman with Pataki and his handpicked state chairman...there is concern that the Republicans don't have enough good candidates for the Senate, governor's race (if Pataki doesn't run) and the attorney general's race (where Eliot Spitzer is the heavy favorite)...that Pataki is running the party from the top
and ignoring the grass roots

Of course, a good race against Hillary and Republicans' outlook could quickly change

Claiming Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is "more concerned about the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire" than the needs of New Yorkers...

That's not exactly the most damning charge that can be made against her, Ed.

(I know, this is most likely selective quoting from the MSM)

My own sneaking suspicion is that the Republicans don't want her to lose in '06. They want her to be the Democrats' nominee in '08, because, in their view, only she can keep conservatives on the GOP plantation.

Too bad this guy has the mark of "Nixon" tattooed on his ring finger. We'll get to relive Watergate. You just know that it will be fodder for the Clintonistas.

The press will kill him for the connection.

Yeah, and he'll be "inching" throughout the campaign.
A tortoise that never catches up to the hare ... and never gets close.

Sorry, but this one goes in the round file as a man-bites-dog snoozer. The GOP can't run unqualified candidates who no one's ever heard of and beat an incumbent of great political skills in a deep blue state.

Let's hear from Florida, West Virginia, Minn., N. Dak., and any other halfway-sane places that have Senate seats up in '06. Sure, Hillary is newsworthy, but her opponents aren't. Or any any rate, Dick Nixon's son-in-law, who has been out of the news since 1971 or thereabouts, sure isn't.

Ooops ... I meant "dog-bites-man"

Or rather, harmless little poodle bites mean junkyard bytch. Or says he might.

I heard Ed Cox on John Batchelor's radio show last night and was imporessed.

He is very smart, clear thinking and aggressive.

There will probably be a primary and Ed might get the Conservative Party nomination as well.

There is $60,000,000 waiting for the challenger to Hillary Rotten Clinton.

After reading Ed Klein's book, someone needs to do it.

Stranger things have happened.

Well gee, expanding on that logic, we should have elected JF Kerry so that we could keep the conservative base in the Republican camp on a national level.

The sins of the father-in-law?
He will have a very difficult time, but let's not get ridiculous about this.

Except I don't think they're expecting her to win the general.

By the way, it's not entirely idle speculation that the GOP wants her to be the nominee. Newt Gingrich, of all people, recently asserted that Hillary is the only person in Washington who knows what to do about health care.

Thats a pretty dangerous assumption, isn't it?

I'm darn sure Japan didn't expect to be so totally devastated when it bombed Pearl Harbor.

Newt Gingrich, of all people, recently asserted that Hillary is the only person in Washington who knows what to do about health care.

Having lived through her outrageous, if not outright Communist concept, I don't even know what that means.
