#1 Sounds like a good investment to me. Wonder if Pirro has a donation web site yet?

#2 Personally I think she'd be making a mistake to run for Senate again. She's got nothing to gain and everything to lose. She should start her Presidential run in 2006 instead of muddying the waters with the Senate run.

The only reason to go for Senate is if she doesn't have confidence she'll win the big show.

#3 she doesn't have the confidence, and her "hiding her real lib self" program won't stick if she can't keep faking it further towards 2008. She's a known (and disliked) quantity

#6 IMO she has to run for Senate in 2006. It seems to me electing someone for President who won one previous election is too thin an experience package when running for the office of Big Kahuna. I believe one four year turn in the office of Governor's preferable, but not as a Senator.

/that's also why I think Romney's got 0 chance, but that's another thread...

#7 The Hildebeast has to run, I think (hell, I'm no political prognosticator), for the reason Raj noted -- getting re-elected is the essential way you show people that you did a good job in office. Do a good job, get re-elected, do a bad job, lose or fold.

And let's be clear, Hildebeast's job performance is modestly okay for a freshman Senator. She has no major sponsored legislation, no memorable speech on the Senate floor, nothing to point to to say, "I did that; if it wasn't for me that wouldn't have happened." Part of the problem was that for 4 of her 6 years in office she's in the minority party, but she really didn't jump out to the first rank of opposition senators.

She has to run and she has to beat Pirro like a drum, or it's over.

#8 agreed - 70% or more, and she won't do that.
