I'm laughing at the posters in this thread who think Gillibrand is Clinton-lite. She's much more interesting than Clinton and has a more recent track record of getting WWC voters. It'll be interesting to see if she gets another mega-landslide reelection in 2018.
Overall, I think Klobuchar is the best woman the Democrats could put forward.
This. She doesn't seem to get enough credit for this. She did extremely well in Upstate New York in both of her elections, with her vote percentage in 2012 being one of the highest ever in the history of New York elections. And, of course, she defeated a Republican incumbent in a pretty "WWC" district.
