Former Mass Gov Bill Weld May Run For Senate Against Hillary

Cindy Adams dishes in her New York Post gossip column that, according to unsubstantiated rumor, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld will run for Senate against Hillary Clinton if Jeannine Pirro chooses to run for state attorney general

At the event, one bunch was burbling — and I don't believe it but I'm repeating it — if Jeannine Pirro jumps for attorney general, GOP Senate types could draft former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld to run for senator. He wants this job because he ran for it and lost against presidential loser John Kerry. Actually, he wants any job — N.Y. governor, U.S. senator, anything. The guy's itchy to be important someplace. But, although he can raise $50 mil for the hustle against Hillary, doesn't he owe fealty to Bill, who tried to make him ambassador to Mexico, a job he also blew?

Isn't he just coming off his couldn't even get it started campaign to run against Elliot Spitzer for governor? He continues to be a Republican despite the fact that his party cut his throat a few years back.

Weld is a douche-bag, but he will lose for two reasons:

1. He's bored. Why does he run for Senate in Massachusetts, go for Ambassador to Mexico, move to New York, then run for Governor, then run for Senate?

2. How is he going to run against Hillary when he was kissing up to the Clinton just a few years ago when he was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Mexico?


....I should also ad that Weld running for Senate would make Tom Golisano the only major Gubernatorial candidate against Spitzer (or Suozzi, since he seems opportunistically obsessed to challenging Spitzer in the primary.) Golisano has spent the past two elections running against Pataki on the Independence Party. Pataki has even talked to aides and considered the idea of endorsing Spitzer or sitting the race out if Golisano is the candidate.

As long as Hillary doesn't run for Prez.

We can't let the Republicans get a fillibuster-proof CHAMBER.
