New York Senate race

Having just returned from the Empire State, anything Hillary-related is catching my eye. Megan McArdle has thoughts on the upcoming Senate race (Glenn is currently on vacation... sheesh, why couldn't I hire "guestbloggers" to fill in?), and what it could mean for Hillary's bid for the presidency:

[Jeanine] Pirro's biggest weakness, that her husband was convicted of tax evasion (Pirro herself was cleared as an "innocent spouse) is harder for Hillary to capitalise on, since Pirro can always say "Why don't we take the focus off my husband's arrest and your husband's lost law license, and talk about the issues". I still think Hillary is probably the clear winner, but it will be an interesting race to watch. Pirro is a pro-choice, socially liberal and fiscally conservative Republican. She may well be able to take some of the shine off Hillary's presidential campaign.

Fugedaboutit!
