Another Hillary Opponent Bites the Dust (imminent)
Whether or not you like Hillary, I hope most of you will find this amusing.

N.Y. Republican Stumbles Against Clinton

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer M

Excerpts:

NEW YORK - It didn't take long before the wheels started coming off Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland's campaign to unseat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

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. There was also the disclosure of an internal memo in which McFarland appeared to distance herself from evangelicals and called herself liberal on social issues like abortion.

And recently, she told a campaign audience — jokingly, she later insisted — that Clinton had sent helicopters to spy on her. But the story was splashed across the tabloids.

2. "jokingly, she later insisted"
Saw that one coming.

Why do they keep thinking they have to put a woman up against Hillary? It's either these two waco senate candidates or condi. Are the repub men afraid to loose to a woman????

5. No, remember that little wart Lazio?
He came off first as a banty rooster and then reminded every woman in the voting public of an angry husband with a credit card statement when he stomped across the stage to shove some piece of paper into Ms. Clinton's face during their debates.

Men don't like to get beaten by women, and I fear no Repug male wants to take her on in what has become a pretty safe Senate district.

3. It seems like the only person running against Hillary
who isn't making a fool out of him or herself, is Jonathan Tasini, and he's another Democrat! The two of them could actually stage an interesting debate on real issues, rather than find new ways to show how incompetent they are, which is all that the Republicans seeking Hillary's seat seem capable of doing, lol.

8. yeah Hillary is a potent force, especially her financing.
I had my doubts before she dispatched this chicky in such short order. Now maybe the repukes better watch out for this White House Juggernaut.

9. this is entirely the fault of the gop, they should have vetted McFarland
like she was opponent and done their own non-opposition-opposition research so they either failed to do that or thought she could just get by.
