Prediction: In a Republican primary John Spencer beats Jeannine Pirro 60/40 and Dick Morris acts surprised the next afternoon on Hannity's show.
Jeannine Pirro in a general vs Hillary Clinton does not break 40. Hillary wins 62/38 and gives her the boost she needs for 2008.
In a general John Spencer starts out with 43. That's the Conservative line plus the old Right to life gang, Republicans and conservative Democrats.
Which one of these group turns out to vote for Jeannine Pirro? Answer NONE. This foolish talk about Spencer being unknown throughout New York State is, well just that foolish talk. Once the campaign starts Spencer will be nationally known over night. This will be the biggest race in America. Who knew Lazio before the last race? In a month he raised 20 million dollars and that was when people only thought they knew why they should want to stop Hillary. I don't know if John Spencer can beat Hillary Clinton, but nothing points to Jeannine Pirro beating her or even getting close. There would be no Republican groundswell for her within the state. When the Human Events crowd takes a better look they will run away from her. Let's be realistic here.

I have no problem with her losing 60/40 in the primary. what I have a problem with is party bosses deciding who can even run. That is one of my major problems with a two party system such as we have. In a free society, anyone who wishes to seek office should have the same access to votes, but because we do have a (basically) 2 party system, many extraordinary candidates are never even placed on ballots. So we wind up with elections where people hold their noses and vote for the least objectionable or against the most despicable instead of voting for someone who deserves the vote. I am not saying Ms. Pirro is a deserving candidate, but I am saying she should be able to bring her candidacy before the voters and let nature takes its course.
