Hillary has nothing wrapped up.
Byline: Douglas Pike
The crusade to elect Hillary Rodham Clinton senator from New York takes me back to 1964, when Robert Kennedy of Massachusetts snatched a Senate seat in that same state. I was an anti-carpetbagger protester at the nominating convention, and in the fall, I rooted in vain for the Republican incumbent.
Annoyingly, my fellow New Yorkers elected another carpetbagger, James Buckley of Connecticut, to the Senate in 1970. But at least he was from the state next door. Bobby Kennedy also had a slim connection _ he had gone to school for a while in the state.
As Hillary Clinton fans get giddy over her new, no-name opponent for Senate, Rep. Rick Lazio, they should realize that the first lady is trying something that's shakier. As a rookie candidate, she could have gone back to Arkansas, used her school ties in Massachusetts or Connecticut, or gone way back to Illinois. Instead, she popped up in a New York suburb for the express purpose of shuttling back to Washington as a senator.
Sure, she's a quick learner who has already visited the state's 62 counties. Still, there's a staggering presumptuousness in this project _ and I say that not as a Hillary-hater, but as someone who admires her.
