This seems to have Red Queen's Clintonista's fingerprints/ bootprints all over it. The Hildebeast must have had a real fear of this person. I wonder what kind of dirt they found.
_______________

ALBANY, N.Y. - After weeks of pressure from her own party to drop out, Republican Jeanine Pirro abandoned her struggling campaign to unseat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and announced Wednesday that she will run for New York attorney general instead. "I have decided that my law enforcement background better qualifies me for a race for New York State attorney general than a race for the United States Senate," Pirro, the Westchester County district attorney, said in a statement.

With her campaign against Clinton in trouble, Pirro had been under strong pressure from top state GOP leaders to make the switch.

she didnt need the Clinton Goonsquad, she had herself & her hubby to do enough damage all on their own.

What we had was a handful of elites trying to push a Hillary Lite onto the party, when they had better candidates.

Cox and Spencer had broader bases of support than Pirro ever did. But, Reps didn't want to spend a lot of $$ on a primary, wanted to save it for the election. Cox had picked up county committee endorsements in upstate before Pataki strong armed him to step aside for Pirro ' for party unity'. blahblahblah.

And after Cox withdrew, these same upstate committees endorsed Spencer - still refusing to endorse Pirro.
Now that she's gone, some have asked Cox to get back in the race. Either way, he or Spencer have a better chance than Pirro ever would have. She would only have been an AnybodyButClinton candidate

will be interesting to see what develops now
