NYT LEAD WEDS.: Harold Ford Jr. IS challenging Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for the Democratic nomination, against wishes of party leaders... Developing...

GOOD!!! I hope Gillibrand gets her head handed to her!

Bumble, I would like Gillibrand to be beaten by a Rep or Conserv even better.

Given the political climate in NY, I'd settle for her being beaten down by just about anyone. Nothing worse than a two-faced biatch.

I don't see any Rep that can win this.  I like Gillibrand but think Ford is better.  Wonder who is kicking up dust about it.

Only in the liberal dem party do you see them support and endorse the weakest, uneducated, illiterate, under qualified, idiotic candidates. This seems to be the qualifications needed on their political resume. And why? So they can be used as puppets! AMAZING TO SAY THE LEAST!!!

Gillibrand was clearly and empty skirt with strings just ready to be pulled!!! Pathetic!

The Vets hold her in VERY high regard.

Only the few ally....only the few! And that I know for a fact!!!!

Schumer is the one who asked Ford not to primary her as he has her right where he wants her licking his boots IMHO.

Licking his boots OR pulling her strings. Just call her 'ms. puppet'!

I don't know for sure.  I do know that my friend who has a big position with the Veterans' organizations, including Veteran's for Peace, (WWII guy) has met with her and she has spoken to his association of Veteran's several times.  He speaks highly of her.  Other than that, I don't know so I will take your comment under advisement.

She's a typical politician and tells you what you want to hear and then goes along with whatever Upchuck Schumer tells her. Remember she was pro gun until she was elected to the Senate and then immediately changed her tune and became an anti-gun Dem just like Schumer.

Gillibrand and Ford = Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, but it will be interesting to watch Evil fighting Evil.

Gillibrand will just propose even more government taxpaid social programs. Now we will be seeing and hearing her name more often. UGH!

The same DEMS that supported Hillary are calling Harold Ford a carpetbagger. Agree with Sunny but the more infighting the better. The last thing we need is to re-elect this Schumer/Reid puppet.
