She has no connection whatsoever to New York. A seat is opening up here due to Sen. Moynihan's announced retirement, and she thinks New York voters will positively view her "message," whatever that might be. I'm sure some polling was done to figure out what state she should choose (I think Illinois was another possibility).

She has no connection to NY and no qualification to be a US Senator. I assume she picked NY because she felt she had a chance to win there. I'm not sure why NYers would vote for a carpetbagger with an obvious mental problem but I have no doubt the race with Guiliani will be close. I'd say Rudy has a slight edge because of Hillary's statements concerning Palestinians and Palestinian statehood. JLA

I don't want to sound like a parrot, but the Rush Limbaugh take on this is probably correct. He says that what began as a lark and a practical joke spun out of control and they no longer control the story. Now they're flummoxed.

I,m pretty sure that New Yorkers are smarter than that, but I could be wrong.

Hillary Clinton: why I stood by my man - report LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton, U.S. First Lady and likely candidate for the U.S. Senate, has talked for the first time about why she stood by her man and blamed the President's infidelity on childhood abuse, said the Sunday Times. President Bill Clinton's wife said his two-timing ''weakness'' stemmed from a trauma caused by childhood abuse, the report said. Quoting extracts from an interview due to be published this week in Talk, a new magazine edited by ex-New Yorker editor Tina Brown, the report quoted the First Lady blaming the President's childhood experiences for a chain reaction of philandering. Referring to her husband as a ''hard dog to keep on the porch,'' she said dealing with ''bimbo eruptions'' had long been part of their marriage. For many years she believed his weakness was under control until the scandal of his sexual relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky erupted and at one stage threatened the presidency. Clinton said in the report that the affair with Lewinsky took place after the death of the President's father and their friend Vincent Foster. ''He couldn't protect me, so he lied...this was a sin of weakness.'' ''Yes, he has weaknesses. Yes, he needs to be more disciplined, but it is remarkable given his background that he turned out to be the kind of person he is, capable of such leadership,'' she was quoted saying in the Sunday Times. ''He was so young, barely four, when he was scarred by abuse. There was terrible conflict between his mother and grandmother. A psychologist told me that being in the middle of a conflcit between two women is the worst possible situations,'' Clinton said. She went on to describe her vigil for many years to monitor her husband's faithfulness. ''I thought he had conquered it. I thought he understood it, but he didn't go deep enough or work hard enough,'' she said. Asked whether their marriage could survive the strains of her embarking on a solo political career in the Senate, she said: ''He's responsible for his behaviour whether I'm there or 100 miles away...it is their (the person's) responsibility whether it's gambling, drinking or women. Nobody can do it for you.'' Clinton is currently on a campaign-style tour in New York. If she decides to run for the Senate seat being vacated next year she will be the first president's wife ever to seek office. biz.yahoo.com
