Those who were reading the kyle+blog in the 80's back when it was live action performance art, KNOW how much I love the Kennedys. That said, I am not devastated that Caroline Kennedy is not going to be my next Senator, her roll out in upstate was ... not good. You just do not get off an airplane in December in Syracuse and NOT have on a winter coat, even this shivering southern boy , knows that.
Our Sainted Governor has chosen an up and coming 42 yo congresswoman from the Albany area,Kirsten Gillibrand to replace Hillary Clinton. The five boroughs have had a complete canniption. The folks on my favorite TV show, MORNING JOE, are outraged, and once again SHOCKED that there is a New York, past 220th street ( hell, 125th.....)
New York State is Georgia on steroids, or the Georgia / Atlanta relationship is a little mini New York. There are just as many votes in a 50 mile circle as there are in the rest of the state, so there is this odd balance. The thing is that, ALL the TV news in the country, and most of the opinion we hear comes out of that little circle.
Sad to see Hillary go.. but hopeful for new Senator Gillibrand.
Update: "Putting aside any doubts some may have had, Senator-to-be Kirsten Gillibrand just announced her support for marriage equality during a nationally televised press conference with NY Gov. David Paterson." Score one for out side.
