I wish Winfield ran the NY GOP.

The NY GOP & Winfield do think along the same lines.  Perhaps winfield is Joe Mondello is disguise??

Ha ha, I'd love for Pirro to run for major office again.  She'd lose of course, but it'd provide us all with months of entertainment again.

Mobbed-up husband, unimpressive candidate.

New York Republicans need some time in the wilderness, including the State Senate, in order to rebuild and rebrand. Let the Democrats have total control, get seriously corrupt, and implode. A good government Republican Party that doesn't try to copy southern cultural wars can win.

Honestly, the whole Jeanine Pirro affair is what makes me disenchanted with politics sometimes.  I don't dispute that she was a terrible candidate, but she had a lot of promise and is clearly a capable individual to be serving at some level of government (probably not as Governor, but considering the trouble New York has had over the last couple years with high profile statewide embarassments/resignations...).

The part that depresses me, at least a little, is that Pirro's life is worse off for having tried to run for political office, and that's sad.  It's the kind of "NY Post treatment" she got that keeps a number of incredibly skilled, intelligent people from sticking their toes in the water.

I love politics, but I could never actually run for anything.  Take a look at the headlines that the former Mrs. McGreevey and former Mrs. Corzine made, and you'll know why.

Honestly, I need to disagree.  Once the New York GOP loses the State Senate, it will never get it back.  The party could very well wind up going the way of the Mass GOP.

Why do people keep suggesting terrible candidates for this particular office?  How about them, indeed.

That really does get on my nerves down here.  We just had a state legislator introduce a bill last week to make lap dances illegal.

It's not like Pirro wasn't asking for media attention.  Her main job while she was Westchester DA was appearing on cable news to talk about cases half the country away.

Despicable woman, I'm exceptionally glad she's no longer my DA and is no longer (Winfield aside) a contender for public office.  I had to vote for Andrew Cuomo in 2006, it was pretty sad.
