N.Y. Republican Stumbles Against Clinton
N.Y. Republican Stumbles Against Clinton

NEW YORK, Mar. 27, 2006
(AP) It didn't take long before the wheels started coming off Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland's campaign to unseat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Things got off to a promising start in early March, with favorable publicity and several national TV interviews for the wealthy, 54-year-old McFarland, a Reagan-era Pentagon official who spent the last 20 years raising a family and has never held elective office.

But then McFarland was hit with embarrassing disclosures about her voting history, including her registering in two places and missing several elections. Records suggest she did not even vote in 1984, when Reagan, her boss and political hero, was seeking re-election, though she believes she didn't miss that one.

Then The New York Times reported that she had inflated her resume by overstating her rank in the Pentagon and by claiming to have written Reagan's "Star Wars" speech.

6. "Am I probably, simply nuts?" she asked.

Remember that GOP operative who crowed that they were creating their own reality or something to that effect? Well, it appears that more than a few Repubs have bought into that bluster.

8. This is a joke. No party would run candidates like the Republicans
have been, against Senator Clinton, unless they really wanted her to win. Really, this lot has been worse than the first guy she ran against for this seat. I really think this is a Republican strategy. b
