Sharpton, Meeks endorse Gillibrand

Posted by: Brian Tumulty - Posted in 2010, Al Sharpton, Democratic Party, Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Senate on Jun 05, 2009

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced this morning she has picked up two more endorsements in her 2010 effort to win the Senate seat she was appointed to in January. 

The Reverend Al Sharpton of Rep. Gregory Meeks of Queens have decided to formally back Gillibrand 17 months prior to the 2010 general election.

Gillibrand has acknowledged that she’s been making phone calls to Democrats around the state, seeking early support for the 2010 race.

A major reason behind the effort, of course, is to reduce the possibility of a big name Democrat challenging Gillibrand in a September 2010 primary.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan remains the mostly likely challenger, but she has not made a formal announcement.

    The “King” Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Schumer is a happy camper one by one they are coming on board the Gillibrand express. With Big Brother Obama as the head engineer and Biden as the conductor you can bet all the seats will be filled up shortly. But one always has to worry about a derailment.
