Let's be fair to Gillibrand, she has psychotic gun control views but that's something of a necessity upstate. She -also- promised her full support of gay marriage the day she got appointed. So while she's more conservative on certain issues, she's more liberal than Chuck on others -- he struggled with the question before supporting Paterson's motion for gay marriage in NY.
@eleusiswalks: Different issues matter more or less to different people, even within the same party. I will not vote for anyone who isn't in favor of gun control. That includes a Democrat, who as far as I'm concerned is not actually a Democrat if that's her position on gun control.
So sure, maybe it's a necessity upstate to have that view. So she should have run as a Republican. She'd still have won her election, but we wouldn't now be stuck with her as a Democratic senator.
With her and now Arlen Specter, the Republicans are slowly infiltrating the Democrats with a trojan horse strategy. And if we don't put a stop to it, they will end up destroying us that way. We're heading for our own schism similar to what the Republicans are going through right now.
