1. My husband got shot so i deserve to be a Senator n/t

[Stellabella]

5. Boy, is that statement stupid.

Getting involved in politics because of a very common tragedy is heroic, not reason for ridicule.

Grow up.

6. My husband got shot, I became an activist

and learned so much about the system I decided to run for office.

It's called grassroots activism. Many here on DU can relate to that; sorry you apparently cannot.

10. Spoken like a true gun worshipper who values guns over human life

[FLAprogressive]

2. she's a gun grabber and not much different than stinky Gillibrand

Both are "New Dems"....and apparently since Mitt changed her stance on guns w/in the past 24 hrs they differ little....

3. She's going to be beaten like a cheap pinata. nt

[ShortnFiery]

7. Gillibrand is going to be beaten in her next primary like "a rented mule" ...

and her "little girl" voice too! :evilgrin:

[malaise]

8. I suspect the governor will have his own problems n/t

[Raineyb]

11. I smell a primary fight in his future too. n/t

4. Here here! She'd be a hell of a lot better than Schumer's new "pet" in the Senate.

:thumbsdown:

9. Gillibrand will be fine. If anything, Maloney and the progressives

who decided to run a primary challenger no matter who Paterson chose will not be able to come to terms with each other and so there will be several challengers.

12. The gun control era (error) is over folks

give it up because its not happening and shouldn't. I'm sorry to the people who have experienced gun violence. Just as I am for car accident victims and those that have had the misfortune to choke on an apples over the years. When I was about five my grandmother nearly died from choking on a drink of water.

Sympathy does not change reality. The guns are here to stay, they out number the actual people in the country.
