It is better to run a strong conservative and make a statement.

Like your strategy. If I were in NY, I would get behind the Marine instead of Hillary lite that is running -- less than impressed with Pirro. This would be the one time I would support someone that is not Republican but from the Conservative Party if I lived there.

For God's sake, people, think. Think.

If you run a candidate way over to the right of Hillary, it exposes NOTHING about her. In fact, what it allows her to do is move to the center and posture as a totally reasonable Centrist candidate.

Can you imagine the nationwide MSM orgasm declaring her to be a Centrist?

The center wins because the center is less offensive to the majority. The way to defeat Hillary is to force her to move leftward, abdicating the center. Pirro is to the right of Hillary. She is not a conservative, but she is more conservative than Hillary. She forces Hillary to the left. In fact, Pirro would be able to declare herself a Centrist.

Can she win? Probably not. Probably only Rudi can beat Hillary in NY. But this is not about NY. This is about 2008. You CANNOT allow Hillary to be labeled CENTRIST or we have Hillary as president in 2008.

Pirro is the optimal GOP strategy to stop Hillary and the Conservative party should support her.
