Former Rep. Susan Molinari (R-NY) is mulling a run against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) this year, the Staten Island Advance reports.
Molinari "said she is being urged to run by her father, former Congressman and Borough President Guy Molinari, and by former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, both of whom called her yesterday."
Yeah - that’s what I remember....
And remember, Buckley’s percentage was only in the high 30s. He was blessed with a quite strong liberal GOP opponent (appointed incumbent, after Bobby Kebbedy was killed) as well as a Dem, who split the vote relatively evenly.

Just what New York [and the U.S.] need. Another PROFESSIONAL politician running for yet another political office.
Susan Molinari is conservative enough that the MSM threw a hissy fit when she got job with CBS. Remember?
If the MSM hates her, she's all right by me, especially in ultra-blue New York.
I agree 100%. King is good on a lot of key issues, including being strongly pro-life. And he can win.
Molinari comes from the Staten Island machine and it’s hard to imagine that she wouldn’t be dragged through the gutter with guilt-by-association (such as involving her successor, the disgraced Vito Fossello, other Staten Island scandals or her husband - google him for all the nasty and likely untrue things said about him).
I guess the NRSC would support her and not Brown in Mass. figures
One of three of the Liberal Trio or RINOCRAT at the 1996 GOP Convention. Four I guess if you count Libby Oprah. There was Suzzie, Christie and Little Bobby Dole Says.
Freepers in the actually-free part of the country should realize that conservatives are hard to come by in New York. And, yes, I know that I could move to South Carolina (it'd be my first choice). But family reasons and sentimentality keep me here and I would take Molinari over Gillibrand in the proverbial New York minute.
Lazio’s running for Gov against, probably, Cuomo - who will beat Patterson in the Dem primary. Interestingly, Patterson sounds more like a Republican now than some Republican Govs.
Susan is EASILY conservative enough for blue NY, but may not be highly regarded enough upstate to get elected. Rudy would have been the perfect candidate, and would have won handily, but it wasn’t to be and he’ll be working to get others elected.
This is well said:
“I object to RINO in red states, I reject RINOs in purple states but in deep blue states....give ‘em hell RINO Lady”
