Two things are clear aboot running for US Senate in New York. One, still no one to run against Chuckles. Two, to run against Gillibrand, your first stop is “Morning Joe.” First Harold Ford Jr., then Mort Zuckerman, and now Dan Senor.
He’s an interesting choice, mainly because you wouldn’t assume a former Bush Administration official that’s tied heavily to the Iraq War would be running for dog catcher in Troy (what) let alone state wide as a candidate for the United States Senate. I’m also not entirely sure how someone with such a heavy foreign policy background will do in an election cycle where everyone’s mind is on the economy, especially in New York where Wall Street is being used as a pinata.
That said, I always enjoy his appearences on “Morning Joe” and he already seems to have a thumbs up from Erick Erickson and the folks over at the National Review Online…
