Gender pandering.

Gender and "we really need someone from upstate".

Politics......what a cesspool.

Don't pick Cuomo, who everyone says has the most experience and is the best-qualified for the job, because people are pressuring the Governor to pick a woman, and from upstate, to later help him in his re-election bid.


what a sleezy game.

Yeah F*ck what is best for the people, just do what is best for NUMBER ONE.

Hard times for the Rubs. First, Obama disables their spew about Robert's botched oath, then no under-qualified Kennedy to froth about.

/never heard of Ms. Gilliwhatzit.

This pretty much assures that Cuomo will become Governor very soon. I'm thinking he turned down the offer or hinted he didn't want it. Why be a Senator with very little power when you can run one of the largest states in the country?

Being a Senator is a very cool club, but it's rare to go higher. Obama was only, what, one of 3 Senators to become President?

Cuomo wants the Presidency, just like his dad did. His father might have made a very good President. He was a damn good Governor.

I should have said sitting Senators. That was my error.

Heck, I thought most of those guys had just been Reps and Govs, myself. Apparently it's good to have been in the Senate, but not so great to be in at the time you run for Prez.

So, if a woman vacates a Senate seat, is it a rule that it must be filled by a woman?

/Voting?

those NY governors. will they ever stop tapping new women?

just another unqualified dynastic appointment. ms. gillibrand obviously got this job using the connections of her father, Douglas P. Rutnik.

 
skinink 2009-01-22 07:41:52 PM  
You could appoint a 2 by 4 to fill Hillary's vacated post, and it probably would accomplish as much as she did in her terms as Senator. I like Hillary, but she only went for the NY seat to use it as a base for her Presidential campaign.

Yeah F*ck what is best for the people, just do what is best for NUMBER ONE.


My favorite part of this stupid post is the idea that the idea of what's best for the people has nothing to do with finally having a senator that might give a shiat about upstate new york. It narrowly beats out the idea that because it is a woman it was automatically pandering.
