She is not a conservative and will gladly push the REID-line.

I think I might start liking Gov Paterson.

Ms McCarthy,if you run in 2010,the nation and the rest of the state of New York will know what a lightweight you are.

Have we really reached a point where we are going to cheer because someone appointed a liberal Dem who made some token gestures towards gun ownership in order to pander to her red congressional district?

Are we truly gullible enough to believe that Dem in-fighting about this, over someone who was hand picked by Chuck Schumer, is real?

I’m afraid I know the answers to these questions and I don’t like them. :(

At the risk of being totally banned for ever:
Even a vision impaired squirrel finds an acorn every now and then...

This looks like a clear shot across the one’s bow about just how far left he will be permitted to go. Even Democrats are getting skittish about where this moron will take them.

I am still stunned.

All-in-all, a tolerable pick — certainly could have been a lot worse.

Whe she gets to Washington she will be spoken to by the party and her conservatism will soon be tossed aside.

She will play ball just like the rest of the rats.

Don’t you love how the press describes her as a “Conservative Democrat” ???
Didn’t know such a thing existed anymore.
She must be a supporter of 2nd Ammendement rights if the NRA backs her. I guess that would make her in a relative sense “conservative for a Democrat”, but hardly a conservative in the true meaning.

Time to be very afraid when Freepers start fawning over **any** dem from NY.

Thank you, Caroline!

[PLD]

Wow, I thought I would never see the day the Dem's put a pretty lady in a high position like this..Now I just hope she is not one of the ugly democrats like Nancy and Reed personality wise..I know nothing about her so can't comment yet..I hope she is sworn in but you know Nancy she might not like seeing a pretty lady such as this around the old farts in Senate..

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend”?

I don’t think so.

Like Senator Lieberman in the neighboring state of Connecticut, she is right on ONE subject (and I understand that the NRA thing may have been an election ploy).

She is a screaming leftist on everything else.

LOL!

A conservative Democrat.

Her grandmother, Polly Noonan, was the longtime para mour to legendary Albany Mayor Erastus Corning, who ruled the city for more than 40 years until his death.

Her father, Doug Rutnik, is a well-connected Statehouse lob byist with close ties to Republicans, including ex-Gov. George Pataki, former Sen. Al D'Amato and state Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.
