#1 Disenchantment with Bambi starting, and now this.

Should be an entertaining year watching liberal heads explode.

#2 Liberal Democrats have been wary of her because she ran for re-election with the backing of the National Rifle Association, opposed the federal TARP program to rescue banks, and has been less than enthusiastic about gay marriage.

All this and Schumer backed her? What's up with that?

#3 Wow. I am pleasantly surprised by this choice.

#4 If Schumer backs her, this person is a 'sleeper' liberal or she has 'something' on the dear Senator.

#5 Dems could run her against Palin. Expect to see more of her.

Maybe she'll change parties, she sounds like a DINO.

#6 What's the rule on a special election for her House seat? Sounds like the Repubs could get this one back.

#7 Interesting that Bambi's seat went to a black man; Hildebeest's seat had to go to a woman. Are we so into identity politics that Senate seats become marked once a member of a certain group takes it? (White males need not apply)

#8 We just haaaaad to complain about Caroline kennedy, so Patterson went and found someone who could actually hold the seat in the election.

GEE, THANKS A LOT.

#9 she's actually the best we RBers could hope for from NY with a Dem Governor appointing.

#10 As long as we're giving up on the Senate seat, yeah.

#11 I don't think the Repubs are competitive right now for a Nou Yalk senate seat. But her house seat? Get that one in the special and hang on in 2010.

#12 Disenchantment with Bambi starting, and now this.

It would be nice to see the old style (Patriotic and LOYAL opposition) take the Democratic Party back from the howling mad liberal lunatics. Leftist scumbags.
