It struck me as strange that Gillibrand, a Congresswoman who voted with the Democratic caucus 93% of the time in a region that has been conservative for, well, ever, was getting hammered from the left, as in the comments below this post. Yes, the NRA likes her, but hunting is pretty important to a lot of people up here. Her gay-rights stance wasn't exactly crafted by Rick Warren.
And that vote against the bank bailout looks smarter with each passing day, doesn't it?
