Cox said New York was shortchanging itself by sending two Democratic Senators to Washington, arguing that Wyoming is more successful because "they happen to have two Republican Senators."

As a Republican, Cox said, he'll be able to go to a White House and Congress controlled by the GOP and succeed where Hillary has failed. "I'll be able to deliver for New York and she cannot do that."

Cox also slammed Clinton for her record on the economy.

"She promised in upstate New York in her 2000 campaign that she would deliver 200,000 jobs," Cox told Crowley. "And she had a complicated, big government, unworkable plan to do that. And in fact, she hasn't delivered."

"Newspapers upstate are now asking," Cox said, "'Mrs. Clinton, where are those 200,000 jobs you promised us?'"

Though Cox's challenge to Clinton represents something of a political David and Goliath match-up, the New York lawyer and Nixon son-in-law told Crowley: "I will match my record of experience and accomplishments against Mrs. Clinton's any day as far as substance is concerned."

"Forget the celebrity and the glitz and all that," Cox said, before chronicling his work in the fields of education and the environment - and as a budget cutter in the Reagan administration.

Cox also hit what promises to be a sensitive issue for Mrs. Clinton: Her refusal to pledge to serve out her full term if reelected.

"New Yorkers resent the fact that she's just using New York as a stepping stone to run for president," he told Crowley.
