Senator Gillibrand

I almost lost it when I saw this story earlier today. Remember when she was going to challenge Peter King?

And now King's supposed to challenge her!

Ah.

Well the AP's "close officials" dun screwed up two days ago on what the governor was trying to do with that caretaker story.

It's looking on track for Sweet Caroline for some strange reason.  Barack & Ted could have strongarmed our poor pal David - the only conclusion I'd reach from this sort of move.  Who knows, maybe Bloomberg threatened to join the Dem. party again and attempt to primary Pater

He should join the Dem. party again and attempt to primary Caroline. That would be *fun* to watch!

Are the circumstances surrounding Kennedy extraordinary enough to put this seat in play in 2010?

They certainly have become more so due to the long indecision.

Holtzman, eh? *Interesting* but not actually a bad pick, it would be.

[minionofmidas]

bitter (not endorsing the eventual winner or losing because the guy you primaried came back as a third party).

eh. That's not so good.
Although it was D'Amato who primaried Javits, not Holtzman. He just went on to hurt her more. (Didn't read the part below that too closely, maybe you were referring to something else?)

Looks like WalterMitty was incorrect with his prediction of Democratic Presidential Contender Caroline Kennedy, 2016

The sun also rose again this morning.

Really? I hadn't noticed.


Must be the thick cloud cover.

GOD.  MSNBC is talking endlessly about how the failure to pick Caroline is a failure for women and bragging about about how Caroline accomplished so much "for a woman."

Lol. Because Gillibrand is so male. And has "accomplished" so much less.

not that we can expect a Dartmouth grad to actually care about gay marriage

Not catching the joke here... explain for a dumb foreigner plz.
