So, after the disasterous four-month campaign that saw the wheels come off the Pirro campaign and no support from the state GOP, Gov. Pataki has managed to convince Pirro to run for Attorney General.
Which means who exactly is running against Hillary for the US Senate? Anyone? Bueller? Will the GOP in NY get a player to be named later, plus a conditional draft pick?
And there's the tiny little problem that Pirro herself is vetoing the trade. She's steadfastly denying the trade rumors according to spokespeople close to her campaign.
As I've previously noted, there's no good reason for her to withdraw - as long as the state GOP gets behind her and she gets her act together (and there's still plenty of time to do that as well). All these machinations do is show how futile and inept the NY State GOP is.
One of the biggest problems with all the talk about Pirro switching races is that there's no one being touted for the Senate race in her stead. That shows just how thin the GOP bench in NY is as does the fact that they've brought in a ringer from Mass. - William Weld - to run for governor.
