If Chelsea Clinton decided to run for office, do you really think the media would point out that her father former President Bill Clinton was the only president in U.S. history to be impeached and his law license revoked?
Of course not.
They would gush 24/7 about the Clinton Dynasty and Keith Olberman would have on-the-air orgasms every night on MSNBC.
Chris Cox is a young strong Conservative. He’s much stronger than the marshmallow wimps we have here in New York State. The fact that some GOP members anonymously knock Cox in this article shows you the quality of Republicans in New York.
They are a joke!
Chris Cox represents the new breed of Conservatism in the Empire State and these old, tired, cowardly, GOPers need to pack up and move to Vermont.
We don’t need your kind here anymore!
From The New York Post:
Chris Cox, surprise candidate for Congress and 31-year-old grandson of Richard Nixon, has more than political inexperience and a dubious legacy to worry about -- it's his recent engagement to 20-year-old New York heiress Andrea Catsimatidis, whom he met when she was just 17, that has scandalized Long Island's elite.
"Everyone's snickering behind their back," said one high-ranking GOP leader from eastern Long Island, where Cox is running as a Republican.
"She's a kid. He brings her to these very staid Republican events and she's in a miniskirt. It's the political equivalent of 'The Addams Family.' "
Catsimatidis is the daughter of billionaire political power broker John Ca simatidis, who expressed concern about the engagement to The Post's Cindy Adams a month ago.
"I'm shell-shocked," he said. When asked if Cox had any money, he replied, "I don't know. I only know that Andrea has enough for both of them."
Supermarket mogul Catsimatidis, ranked 616th on the Forbes World's Richest People list, told The Post that he feels differently now about Cox.
"Chris is one of the nicest kids I've ever met," he said. "Straight-arrow. Clean-cut. Honest as the day is long. It's better than her running around, looking for anything."
Few knew who Cox was, or that he was engaged to a much younger woman, until Andrea posted the news on Facebook. "Andrea is engaged to the greatest man in the world (besides her father of course!)! YAYYYYYY!!!!," she wrote.
"I feel so comfortable with Andrea; she's so advanced in her knowledge," said Cox, calling from the stump in Suffolk County.
When asked what they have in common, he said, "We love politics."
Shared hobbies? "Cooking's great," he said. "It's a fun activity. We love to pick up different activities. Playing tennis. Swimming in the ocean. Being
active."
They have also taken to campaigning together.
Cox met Andrea Catsimatidis in April 2008 while he was participating in a mock presidential debate, representing John McCain, at Hewitt, her all-girls high school on the Upper East Side.
Cox is the only son of Tricia Nixon Cox and Ed Cox, the head of the Republican Party in New York state.
The younger Cox went to Princeton, and worked as a lawyer and a consultant.
