Ex-Pentagon Official May Challenge Hillary

A former Defense Department official who has been out of government for 20 years is considering entering the race for the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election bid. Kathleen "KT" McFarland of Manhattan says she'll decide within two weeks whether to run for the GOP's Senate nomination.

McFarland was a deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs from 1982 to 1985. She has been out of government since then and has never run for public office. Republican Party leaders in New York have been looking for an abortion-rights-supporting woman to challenge Hillary Clinton. McFarland, a mother of five and grandmother of three, fits that description.

So far the front-runner for the GOP nomination has been former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer, an anti-abortion conservative.

1. The New York State GOP is kind of a huge mess.
They're about to lose the governor's chair, and witness a probable Clinton landslide in the U.S. Senate race.

The odds of NY going red in 2008 for the presidential race are close to none.

3. You know the GOP is in trouble with New York
when they have to front a phony "Pro-Choice" (note: they say "pro-abortion" - right there is a big red flag) opponent for Hillary . . .

However, if Hillary gets "Diebolded" and this person wins, watch her make a quick "switch" to vote for all elimination of rights . . .
