I know which one is the real case of media assassination, and it wasn't The Princess, it was The Governor. And it wasn't because she was a woman, it was because she posed a surprise threat that the media's stalking-horse candidate, McCain, might accidently get elected.

But the 'New York' part means New York City, not New York <strong>State</strong>. To liberals who are part of that axis, Gillibrand has several cardinal sins, aside from her NRA membership and (for a Democrat) fairly moderate voting record. She's not from New York City; she's not well-known among the NYC-D.C. elite and she's not a celebrity, so that by hanging out with her, you could bask in some of her celebrity glow they way it would have been if Caroline had gotten the seat. The usual suspects will now go through several days of sniping, including some possibly Palin-like shots at her lifestyle. But they won't go the whole route on trashing her until they see how Kirsten votes in Congress. If she just followed Chuck Schumer's lead, they'll lay off, though it will take a long, long time before she's fully accepted by them. But if she maintains her Blue Dog credentials and is more responsive to upstaters than to downstate, look for the long knives to come out in anticipation of a Democratic primary challenge from the left in 2010.
