Ed Cox, Richard Nixon's Son-In-Law, To Become New York GOP Chairman

UPDATE: Ed Cox has been named state GOP chairman at a state committee meeting.

******

Ed Cox, son-in-law of the late President Richard Nixon, is expected to be named chairman of the Republican Party in New York.

A Manhattan corporate lawyer, Cox is married to Nixon's daughter Tricia.

Cox is said to be already "colliding with forces within the party," as he wants former Mayor Rudy Giuliani to give up any plans on running for governor and focus on Kirsten Gillibrand's appointed senate seat instead.

The state GOP will make their decision today at a suburban Albany hotel.

Chairman of the New York State Republican Party. What can be next, Chairman of the National Republican ethics committee. Actually he might be able to work for the EPA caring for endangered wildlife.

Why do you assume that Ed Cox is not an ethical person?

[KarateKid]

Why are you assuming that oldgeek was even implying Eddie was not ethical?

Can't wait to see how Cox intends to rope in this bull.
I guess we can expect several more rounds of nouns, verbs, and 9/11s.

Tricky Dick at least had a brain. That's more than I can say about the GOP today.

I'd say Cox has a long way to catch up with papa Nixon's crimes, but of course Bush eclipsed them, and made Nixon's trea5on look quaint.

So where is it, Rudy?

This country certainly has become exactly like Britain in the 1700's - entitlement, the house of lords, titles as payment for good deeds to those in power and on and on. And instead of gambling with their own money, they gamble with the US treasury funds and put us into debt we can never pay off.

40 year old change we can believe in.

Why not show a picture of Ed Cox? We already know what RMN looks like.

Now this is really scarry!!! The son of a crook lining up with the fringes on the right.........

[glorialovelace]

Nixon was not Ed Cox's father. Nixon's other daughter married Eisenhower's grandson. Does that make Eisenhower a crook, too?

Ed Cox wants Giulianni to run for the NY Senate seat and not for Governor?

Doesn't he realize that Giulianni is an EGOTISTICAL, MELGOMANIAC who is NOT a team player and who has to be in charge despite his incompetance? .....................

That's why Giulianni wants to be Governor .................. He wants to fulfill his fantasy of being a KING and a SUPREME RULER.

The governor of NY is a king and supreme ruler? Someone should tell Paterson!
