I think Cox would be a much better candidate than Pirro. Pirro has too much of a background. While Cox's father-in-law was Nixon, no one cares about Watergate anymore.
The worst candidate would be John Spencer. He attacked Hillary for being a liberal in NEW YORK!!!! That's gonna work for sure....
Pirro has problems. Anyone associated with Nixon is going to have problems. SPencer is just an utter moron. Regardless the NY GOP (minus the Rudy & Bloomberg (& Mike isn't really even a Republican) is in very bad shape. the state GOP is about as bad as the Illinois GOP or Texas Dem party
I'll conceede the NYGOP is as bad as ILGOP when we have to run Alan ing Keyes but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. In 2006 the NYGOP is in bad shape for Governor and Senate, but afterwards and for some of the other offices I don't think our chance are as bad as you make them seem.
I still doubt anyone is gonna care that Cox is related to Nixon.
