So is Andrew Cuomo the guy?

[Unsane]

He could easily win re-election IMO, and is an experienced pol (unlike Caroline).

1. Andrew Cuomo will challenge Paterson for the Governorship and he will likely win

I don't think that Paterson sees this coming...even if he appoints Andy to the Senate, Andy will not like being subordinate to Schumer, so he will jump to the Governorship a la Corzine...

4. All the more reason to appoint Cuomo.

2. Let's hope it Kirsten Gillibrand (IMHO)

She's an amazing person.
You can have Cuomo.

3. He'd be good

if it can't be Caroline. I wish it could be Maurice Hinchey but I don't think that will happen. Hope it isn't Gillibrand.

6. Gillibrand is good. Someone mentioned Mark Green...

7. Gillibrand would leave

NY 20 without a dem. We would lose this seat.

8. that may be true.

but she's gonna leave one day, and I hope she become's one of NY's senator's when she does.
