Can Pirro Beat Hillary For The Senate?

Dick Morris seems to think she can.

While Hillary would have no problem dispatching an opponent like Nixon son-in-law Edward Cox or Yonkers Mayor John Spencer (the two other possible GOP contenders), Pirro presents a real problem.

Jeanine Pirro is pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-affirmative action, pro-gay-civil unions and pro-immigration. And, of course, she's a woman.

In a sense, Hillary will have to end up running against someone who is quite like herself in her public positions: Except, of course, Pirro is a good old-fashioned anti-tax, anti-crime, tough-on-terror Republican from the suburbs.

Can Pirro win? Perhaps it's too early to tell, but if she can give Hillary a good fight and force her to spend money she'd otherwise save for her inevitable presidential run, than all the better.

So she supports abortion, she's against allowing the 2nd amendment, she's for the reverse-discrimination practices of affirmative action, supports homosexual unions, and wants lots of foreigners to come into America. Someone please tell me how she qualifies as a conservative or even a Republican. To me, she's only slightly to the right of the Hildebeast. Not my idea of a good candidate. Too bad we can't get someone to go after Madam Clinton who actually supports the conservative perspective. They might actually have a chance to win against the ultra-lib Hillary. Pirro doesn't stand a chance.

So our choices are Hillary Clinton or a RINO Republican. I guess I would have to hold my nose and vot for the RINO. Ugh!
