Finally!!!
This whole search has been so dramatic!
At noon today, Friday, New York governor David Paterson, will appoint ‘conservative’ Democratic NY Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to Hillary Clinton’s vacant US Senate seat. Gillibrand was the first Democrat elected to upstate NY’s 20th district since 1978 and the first woman to hold the seat.
This ‘conservative’ choice is apparently freaking out some Dem leaders. Gillibrand voted against the economic rescue package and is a known supporter of the NRA. She’s also not down with the gays!!!
But, Rev. Al Sharpton did bring up some reasons why Gillibrand is a ‘good’ choice in a chat with Fox News. She’ll draw into the fold conservative Dems who are powerful in upstate NY. The lefty rev said:
“I think politically it will help the governor, it will help the team. She will do some things for them upstate…look what happened in Virginia. Conservative democrats are winning so politically it might be a plus.”
You’ve got some big shoes to fill, Miz Gillibrand.
