That conflict burst into the open this week over the troubled candidacy of Ms. Pirro, who is an object of interest in New York and Washington because she has been hailed for years as a future leader of the party, a future Pataki or D'Amato.

The last thing we need in the People's Republic of New York is another Pataki or D'Amato. RINOs do more damage than RATS in the long term, and the NY Republican Party is exhibit A. The prevailing notion that you have to be liberal to get elected in this state means they either skunk conservatives such as Spencer and Ed Cox in favor of RINOs like Pirro, or worse, they refuse to run anyone if there is no RINO available as they did when Chuckie Cheese Schumer ran virtually unopposed.
