Just back from Gillibrand/Long debate in Saratoga.

Wendy Long is a witch with a capital B. She has a bad case of interruptus republicanitis and has no problem with methane in the tap water. Rude, condescending and wrong every time she opened her mouth. And the audience hated her.

Gillibrand 2012!

Gillibrand is liked throughout the state, and will easily win this one. She's a mounted cop in Central Park, and thinks that she can win?!?! Gimme a break already!

Long may just be a throwaway to appease the baggers-- a real candidate would be money down a dark hole and getting nasty with Kirsten in this environment would not be tolerated.

She's not only a good Senator with no downside, she seems to be a genuinely nice person-- the kind of person even Republicans wouldn't want to see trashed.

Gillibrand is not threatened by her at all. Thanks goodness! Wendy Long actually said that methane in tap water is no problem, happens all the time. She referenced the video of someone lighting their tap water with a match. Mean AND dumb, not what I look for in my elected officials.

at a fundraiser with my Congressman, Tim Bishop. I don't want to miss that!

I was at one of his this morning at Liz Holtzmann's house. Anyone remember Liz? Another nice person-- Congresswoman, Senate candidate, and more, she greets you at the door with a quiet "Hi, I'm Liz."
