New York State’s Governor Paterson took my advice<\/a> and named an Upstater to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate. His choice, Ms. Gillibrand, is barely an Upstater but I suppose Albany is about as far Upstate as you can find a Democrat in New York. But just like the way they treated Sarah Palin, the New York City elites don’t approve of the mother of two who was supported in her campaign by the National Rifle Association and she doesn’t drink the Democrat koolaid as deeply as they’d like (New York Post<\/a>);<\/p>\n

Sources said “at least five” members of the state’s Democratic congressional delegation called Paterson to protest the possibility of Gillibrand’s selection. One, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of Nassau County, even threatened a primary challenge. Gillibrand faces a special election in 2010.<\/p>\n

Liberal Democrats have been wary of her because she ran for re-election with the backing of the National Rifle Association, opposed the federal TARP program to rescue banks, and has been less than enthusiastic about gay marriage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess that’s the best my homies in Upstate New York can hope for – they might get better representation with this appointee than anyone they could get elected with those clowns in NYC controlling the entire State.<\/p>\n

Of course crackpot, single issue anti-gun zealot, Carolyn McCarthy, threatened to run against the newly-appointed Senator in 2010 (New York Times<\/a>);<\/p>\n

Representative Carolyn McCarthy, a Long Island Democrat and ardent gun control activist, said Thursday that if Ms. Gillibrand got the job, she was prepared to run against her in a primary in 2010. Ms. McCarthy was elected to Congress after her husband was killed in a gunman\u2019s rampage on the Long Island Rail Road in 1993.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
