McCarthy's pissed and that's a plus

Representative Kristen Gillibrand [D-NY] got the appointment to fill Hilliary's term in the Senate. She got a 100% rating from the NRA, but the GOA only gives her a C [Leans Our Way: occasionally]. After reading SayUncle's comments on the appointment I'm inclined to admit Gillibrand is better than I expected. Any one that gets that reaction from McCarthy has to have something going for her. And maybe McCarthy will run against her in 2010 and learn to her detriment that running at the district level is a long way from running statewide.
