We don't need this anti-gun poster child in the senate so I would suggest that we really support whoever is running against her although she is probably a shoo-in. Funny thing will be that her campaign committee will really be attacking out of state contibutors to her opponent. I guess they will finally be correct about the attacks being purely political. We will be carpet baggers that really have no right to interfer in New York's election. I guess we need to decide if there is a chance of beating her, if not, send our contirbutions to key swing states where they may do some good. The GOP is saying that she will be running as Saint Joan of Arc rather than 'crooked lawyer and politican'. (the last part was really mine) Jim

Hillary's run for the senate
- Thread starter Bullmoose
- Start date
A friend of mine lives in New Jersey, and I was recently discussing this with him, and he said most of the pro-Billary people are the adoring media and the politicos. He told me that alot of the local thinking was, "Who the hell does she think she is that she can just come in here, boss us around, and expect us to kiss her @ss." Of course, there will always be the easily swayed, but I hope New Yorkers will continue to be their good old "New Yorker" selves until she's a footnote to a tainted administration.

It's funny that you mention that we would be carpetbaggers. If Hillary isn't a carpet bagger (from Arkansas, running in New York), then who is?
Schumer (AKA Putzhead) got elected because republicans did not show up to vote. He had backing from the teachers unions and other normally democratic supporters. Besides, New Yorkers were tired of Al Damato.
Hillary will get a strong challenge from Rudy Giuliani, who although he is no friend of Gun Owners, is a damn sight more acceptable than Madam Hillary. This is going to be one H**l of a catfight. The carpetbagger tag will probably hurt her, as her strength is in NY City and the city elected Rudy as mayor twice in a row. He has a good record and has turned things around in NYC.
Write your friends and tell them to vote, you would be amazed as to how many people are not registered. Drag them to the voter registration if necessary. New York and California set the tone for the country and we have lost California, we still have a chance here in NY.

Hillary could win.
It wouldn't be the first time New Yorkers elected an outsider to the Senate. They elected Robert Kennedy, originally from Massachusetts, back in the 60's.
Of course, his pedigree was a little better than hers, being the brother of a "martyred" President. I wonder if that scenario has occurred to any of her advisors/accomplices?
NYC has always been a very liberal, union stronghold which would probably support Hillary despite Guliani's (questionable) popularity.
Her ability to carry the rest of the state is doubtful, but she has one of the best political machines in history at her disposal. If she called in all the political favors owed the Clintons in NY, added a little well placed spin here and there, coupled with growing voter apathy, she could conceivably pull it off.
If I weren't already a NYC expatriate, I would be if she were elected Senator.
