Default Caroline Kennedy gives up on senate seat!!!
Personally I think this is good news....we don't need any more nepotism/ elitism in this state. Good riddance I say. I'm sure she's a lovely woman and I don't mean for it to be personal attack. But she had NO business being a senator representing New York State. Especially after her JOKE of an "upstate tour".

Good.... she didn't deserve it.

I think Andrew Cuomo should/will get it.

Give it to someone from Upstate. We could use a senator from there for a change instead of a member of the NYC political cabal.

Well it looks like Patterson went the COMPLETE opposite way this time and instead of choosing a downstater with NO political experience but a famous name that everybody has heard of; he chose an upstater (albeit she is from Albany) that nobody has actually heard of but with solid experience in federal and state politics, who supports fiscal responsibility!

I must say I am pleasantly surprised! Kirsten Gillibrand gets a thumbs up from me!

Yes, Paterson must by vying for upstate support when reelection comes along...now let's hope Ms. Gillibrand realizes there is more to NY than NYC...

I wasn't a real big fan of Gillibrand at first, but I do think she has our interests at heart. I've never met her personally, but several of my friends & customers have. They all had individual issues that weren't getting addressed due to red tape. One had a son serving in Iraq; they needed him to come home for a family emergency. He was due for sched. leave a few months down the road but couldn't get anyone to speed it up. Kirsten did something about it & got him home.

Another had some problems with her elderly mother getting proper care. Took it to Gillibrand & she made things happen. Maybe she is just what we need, after all.

Does anyone think that because Paterson did not pick Cuomo; Paterson won't be seeking the Gov. seat at re-election time? I ask because I wonder if Cuomo will seek Paterson's job - I think he's have a good chance of winning. Just wondering if that was going thru Paterson's mind?
I'm not a Dem or a Repub. - just a registered voter with not a whole lot of knowledge about either of them.

Hmmmm, did the former carpetbagger have any business representing NY State the first time she ran? But I agree on the Kennedy thing. She can always run for the seat down the road, if she really wants it.
