smartporpoise: “And as for Gillibrand, were she anything other than ordinary, she, at her age, would have some definitive opinions that were not alterable depending upon who she is talking to or taking orders from.”

Snore. I see porpoises repeat media talking points like most other uninformed people. Please do some research regarding Gillibrand’s very impressive progressive record, and her 68% approval rating Upstate, which she has earned through exceptional hard work, accessibility and receptivity to her constituents, and intelligent leadership. I live there, and we know talent when we see it. You just repeat media fodder. Go back out to sea.

And he owes it all to that wonderful small circus of charlatans who brought us the Apollo Theater and WBLS. When over 100 million dollars disappeared into Grasso’s little coin purse at the NYSE, McCall voted for it to happen, and then later said he didn’t know what he was voting for. All suit, no substance. And as for Gillibrand, were she anything other than ordinary, she, at her age, would have some definitive opinions that were not alterable depending upon who she is talking to or taking orders from.

Some folks seem to be missing the point: The news bulletin here is that Senator Gillibrand is stacking up the endorsements from significant elected officials who are supporting her now and regardless of whoever might be running in the future.
These officials are distinguished leaders who served their districts well – such as Carl McCall who was State Comptroller for 8 years.

Carl McCall is hardly one whose opinion is worth two minutes of anyone’s time. He’s proven his political and business incompetence over and over again. Nice suit. And as for Kirsten, she’s shown herself to be nothing more than a self-promoting yo-yo. I don’t care what Party she belongs to.

Kirsten Gillibrand made it clear when she was appointed to the US Senate that she would now represent the broader and more diverse interests of this huge state. And she moved quickly to do just that: She is working with New Yorkers Against Gun Violence to halt the flow of illegal guns into NY from out of state. She’s working closely with immigrant advocates to prevent the breakup of families and to extend higher education opportunities to their young people. Carl McCall knows her as an effective, hard-working, exceedingly intelligent young woman. He knows New York is lucky to have her in the Senate.

Willing to listen to whom? Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Alphonse D’Amato? Talk about schizophrenia! Most of us prefer our “funny” from comedians.

New York Democrats know quality when they see her. The list of Gillibrand’s endorsements grows by the day. How fortunate we are to have a Senator who is at once smart, funny and willing to listen; who moves swiftly to make better legislation on gun control, public health, banking, credit cards, green energy and more; and who works tirelessly for jobs and to make New York a better place to live. The other 99 should follow her lead.

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Schumer the new “king” of NY is making sure everybody is onboard. But he has a problem his “Brain” Hank Morris is under the “spotlight” and drawing more and more attention. That spotlight could start shinning on Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Schumer. There are many questions that need to be answered regarding his “Brain” Hank Morris. Did he ever visit his 4 million dollar home in East Hampton ?
What calls did he make on behalf of Hevesi in 2006 ?
What role did he play in the selection and election of DiNApoli ?
plus all those meals with contributors.

NO MORE SCHUMER
NO MORE PELOSI
NO MORE RANGEL
NO MORE ENGEL AND HIS MILLION DOLLAR HOME IN MARYLAND.

Carl McCall has proven himself to be am incompetent lightweight over and over – most recently on the dimwitted board at the NYSE where he was directly part of the bumblers and manipulators who afforded the Grasso grab over a hundred million bucks. Better he should spend his time golfing for free with Vernon Jordan and Slick Willie. Monica, with whom they’re each very familiar, can carry the clubs.
