I would imagine Cuomo would also.
I'm just glad she's NOT Caroline or Cuomo.
I was hoping he would pick Giuliani but "global cooling" hasn't taken us that far yet:

ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York's junior senator, it was learned last night.
The surprising - and, for many Democrats shocking - decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state's congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said. Gillibrand, a mother of two occasionally resented by colleagues for being an aggressive self-promoter, was strongly backed for the post by Charles Schumer, the state's senior senator, who said a woman and an upstater was needed on next year's ticket.

She is not a conservative and will gladly push the REID-line.
I think I might start liking Gov Paterson.
I’m still having a little problem with the author’s name “FREDRIC U. DICKER”.
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:

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.
She’s a little bit easier on the eyes than Kennedy or Clinton...
I am still stunned.

This gal has an 8% ACU rating. Anne Coulter she aint. It is fun to see the NYC libs upset though.
**She is not a conservative and will gladly push the REID-line.**
Hmmm ... Downstate DEMS don’t like her and the NRA DOES?? This is not NY ...it’s CANDID CAMERA!!
....and it is great to see that she has an NRA approval
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.
I’m sure that he’s heard them all before. He’s been with the Post for years. You can hear him on the radio sometimes on John Gambling’s show and, I think, when Curtis Sliwa is on.
I would imagine Cuomo would also.
