Now let's talk reality, for a change

Now it looks like Kirsten Gillibrand is really standing up to make a challenge to Sweeney, who can no longer hide behind his smug little dissmissals ("I don't know anything about her"), or the vapid slanders his cronies and dupes are planting all over the internet and on phone-in radio:
Gillibrand Challenges Sweeney To Debate On Iraq
As Congress debates this week how to proceed in the war, Kirsten Gillibrand invites incumbent Rep. John Sweeney to debate their competing visions.
Let's see who is really willing to deal with the issues that matter to Americans. No need to continue to bang the terror drum on issues long dead or trivial. Instead of grandstanding on out stupid crap like horses or steroids, let's talk about constituents dying for a cause never explained beyond vague prancing and posturing about 'freedom."

Let's see if he is brave enough to face his public instead of having people cover for him.

You will see, at the bottom of this page, we endorsed Gillibrand.

Thank you.

Well, we're a non-partisan group, and we don't commit to someone just because he or she is a Democrat. Some of us do, but we don't, as a group. Time will tell, however, who gets the Democratic nomination. Kirsten Gillibrand has lined up the endorsements of all 10 county Democratic Committees, she's gotten terrific press, and she has raised some impressive amounts of money. That sounds to me, individually speaking, like she's the strongest contender, and most likely to win the nomination. However, I could be wrong. After all, I never thought that the Absentee-Landlord-in-Chief would have been reelected, either.

I am not sure on this. I'd have to check into it. Leadership, such as exec cttees, & chairs, has made the endorsements. Often the committees simply haven't met frequently enough.
