He's made sure that her district loses her in two years and maybe gets her back in 2012. Oh well, maybe she'll help fillibuster the "fairness" doctrine when it comes through.

It remians to be seen how she VOTES in the Senate. It's easy to be a "maverick" Democrat in the House--with the Democrats enjoying a 70-vote majority, losing her vote on a few issues is no big deal for the Democrats, and she gets to play to her centrist constituents upstate, and get a few crossover votes from Republicans. In the Senate, she'll be taking the place of Hillary Clinton, and will probably come under a lot of pressure from Senate colleagues to vote like her predecessor. Would she really have the "chutzpah" to vote against the bailout, against gun control, against amnesty for illegal aliens while representing a state that includes a "sanctuary city" with 8 million people? Will she oppose "card check" for unions? We'll see... But if Gillibrand has some conservative positions, she could be very useful for filibusters, with only 41 Republicans in the Senate (42 if Coleman squeaks by, but that could take months). Senator McConnell, you might want to have a long talk with Sen. Gillibrand...
