Presidents of the United States don't allow themselves to be pushed around.
This would also be consistent with a strategy designed to run up high vote totals in New York in areas of the state where the right will try to tell people that she cannot perform well.
She needs to spend a lot of time in portions of the state who match the profile of those in the Midwest, which she will need if she runs for president in 2008. If she can win them over in New York, she can win them over in Ohio.
The difference is, in New York state certainly, President Clinton has big numbers. In New York state, no one knows who Al Pirro is and, frankly, very few people know who Jeanine Pirro is.
