Seems the Democrats are howling:
Hey, wait a minute. I didn’t say I was howling! 😛 😉 😀 Anyone that has read my “About Me” page knows why this is funny. 😆
Anyhow, here’s the story:
Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York’s junior senator, it was learned last night.
The surprising – and, for many Democrats shocking – decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state’s congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.

It seems the far left is not too happy about the selection of this woman. Now why am I not surpised. Just proves what I have said all along. The far left hates anything even remotely Conservative. As it messes up thier Anti-Christian Mentality. Which is the Spirit of Anti-Christ that the Bible speaks of.
Update: The AmSpec Blog Reports that she’s not a Conservative as some might think:
But if you move beyond her stances on guns and immigration, and look at her voting record on abortion, taxes, and labor issues, she’s a more reliable liberal Democrat. She has received a 100 rating from NARAL, a 96-percent rating from the AFL-CIO, and an ‘F’ from the National Taxpayers Union. The question is whether she’ll become more liberal now that she’s no longer running in a relatively conservative district, and needs to position herself for a 2010 Democratic primary.
So much for that little issue.
