Clinton faces Senate competition from another female attorney

WHEN Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton comes up for re-election next year, New York voters may well be choosing between a high-powered female attorney with a wayward husband and a high-powered female attorney with a wayward husband.

The strongest potential challenger to emerge in the campaign against the Democratic Clinton is Republican Jeanine Pirro, district attorney in New York’s suburban Westchester County.

Pirro has cultivated a national profile with her work as a prosecutor and her frequent appearances on cable television.
