An interesting race

Hillary is getting an interesting competitor for her Senate post. From the Chicago Sun-Times/AP:
Nixon son-in-law moves to run against Clinton
Gearing up for a possible run for Senate against Hillary Rodham Clinton, former President Richard Nixon's son-in-law Edward Cox announced the formation Wednesday of an exploratory committee that includes Henry Kissinger and other GOP elders.

The New York lawyer also accused Clinton of being "more concerned about the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire" than the needs of New Yorkers.

"She parachuted into New York solely for the reason of running for the Senate, and now she's running for the presidency," said Cox, who is married to Nixon's daughter Tricia. "How can she focus on the problems of New York when she's really thinking of running for the presidency?"
His dream team has some interesting names:
The exploratory committee includes Kissinger, Nixon's national security adviser and secretary of state; Theodore Roosevelt IV, former chairman of the League of Conservation Voters and a managing director at Lehman Brothers, and William H. Taft, a former ambassador to NATO and legal adviser to the State Department.
That will be an interesting one to watch. If she looses the Senate seat, getting traction to run for President will be that much harder... Posted by DaveH at June 30, 2005 4:40 PM
