Repubs Considering Hannity To Run Against Hillary In 2006 [View All]

According to The Hotline from the National Journal, Republicans are stymied with the dilemma of who to find to run against Hillary Clinton in 2006. They would love to unseat her, but both Rudy Giuliani and Gov. George Pataki are considering White House bids in 2008. Beating Clinton would help their 2008 chances, but losing would virtually end them. Outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell?s name has been floated, as he grew up in the Bronx section of New York City. He hasn?t lived there in decades though and has expressed no interest in running for the seat. A possible wildcard candidate: Fox?s Sean Hannity. Otherwise, the other names being floated have less name recognition. And although fundraising against Hillary Clinton is an easy prospect, at best they would have an extremely difficult time unseating her.
