Democratic freshman Sen. Kristin Gillibrand is one of her party's most vulnerable incumbents, but New York Republicans can't come up with a political heavyweight to knock her on the ropes, and her campaign gains momentum with each passing day. [More]It doesn't matter. New York Republicans can't come up with a principled candidate anyway.
Looks like her price per session will be going up. And we'll be the ones getting screwed. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

A bunch of us told a bunch of us, this is what would happen. But, of course our moderate pragmatics insisted on "giving her a chance".
I have been accused of being mean-spirited for warning of her inevitable betrayal, yet it has never occurred to our mild mannered friends to question their complete denial of reality when they refused to realize what Gillibrand would have to do to satisfy Shumer and Paterson who vetted her. Anyone receiving their approval and gubernatorial appointment would have necessarily had to do the same thing Gillibrand did. But Gillibrand had to abandon what she had theretofore called principle. O
Our pragmatists remain forever naive and yet judgmental of those whose analytical skills are better. Then when proven wrong try to disguise their earlier opinion as humane courtesy.
I don't know who our worst enemies are. Our prags, oh and has anybody mentioned,Gillibrand did the pragmatic thing? Or those who openly declare that nothing we have in the way of rights is acceptable to them. I think the prags are our worst enemies, because we often find them at the table with the others.
Straightarrow,
What is the difference between a "pragmatist" and a collaborator?
