Bruno: Pirro should quit anti-Clinton race By MARC HUMBERT AP Political Writer November 29, 2005, 12:44 PM EST ALBANY, N.Y. -- The most powerful Republican in the state Legislature called Tuesday for Jeanine Pirro to give up her quest to unseat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2006 and run instead for state attorney general. State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno said the Westchester County district attorney could win the attorney general's race while in running for Senate, "she's going to have one of the most competitive races in the state." Independent polls have shown the former first lady well ahead of Pirro. "I hope that before this procedure gets too much further along that Jeanine Pirro would reconsider and run for AG.," Bruno told a state Capitol news conference. There was no immediate comment from Pirro. Bruno said he has not talked to Pirro about his feelings for a month or more, but had made those sentiments known to her repeatedly in earlier conversations. The Senate leader said he was also talking up the idea with Republican Gov. George Pataki and other GOP leaders. "All I am saying is while she may make a great U.S. senator, she would be of greater service to a state (GOP) ticket to be on as attorney general," said Bruno.p>

I saw that pitiful display by Dowd which explains why I'm wide awake with NERVOUS energy. After the first few Cheney/Bush insults, Letterman seemed to be the only one laughing as the audience grew tired. What a bitter woman and her book sales speaks volumes of how well received she is these days.
Yes, you're correct about that, but I forget the numbers. He took in something like $32-$36 million? Amazing how so much money could be squandered on such a lousy campaign. And after the election, he owed a million or so to various media outlets. His campaign had to send out begging letters and e-mails to collect $$ to pay the bill. We gave $$ to his campaign initially, but NO WAY were we going to help foot the bill once it was over.
UGH, same here, although I must get to bed very soon. "Mo Do" is certifiable! What a nutcase... and the damn audience (well... OK, a FEW of 'em) are applauding every Bush/Cheney-bashing thing she says. Did she say Judith Miller was "in with Chalabi and the Bush Administration Neo-cons"? Bitter is right... glad to hear her book sales are tanking! ;-D
I received one of those post-election e-mail letters imploring me for money.
It went directly through my spam filter.
:)
And let's not forget all that time wasted on Mc Caniac "campaign finance reform".
I agree with you, Lazio, although "moderate", would probably have made a decent Senator and not just in comparison with the two dweebs NY state gave us.
Funny tagline! ;-D
