True, but compared to a downstate Liberal/Commie she's bearable, and not that far left of many upstate RINO’s. I would say she's not as far out there as Chuckie Cheeze Schumer, but she's no conservative. She got the seat in 06’ in a pretty conservative district, because the incumbent idiot Sweeney mishandled allegations of a domestic disturbance; made an ass of himself and blew a 10 point lead in the final 2 weeks. She did get re-elected against a known upstate GOP,but 2008 wasn't a good year for them here in the People's Republic of NY. With her going to the Senate, the GOP has very good chance of re-capturing the seat in 2010. I don't see any local Dims able to run as strong as she did in that district.
Are you from that area...?
Where is Columbia county ...and Hudson?
