At first blush, at least, I like this choice a lot - admittedly, my knowledge about Senator-designate Kirsten Gillibrand starts and ends with her defeating an [alleged] wife-abusing bully for her House seat in in 2006, but she's looking like a sane, savvy conclusion to the media circus that has sprung up around Hillary's replacement.
The gun advocacy is a little less than thrilling, but in this Obama-y age of post-everythingness, I sort of love the idea of a member of the Blue Dog Caucus representing New York in the Senate.
I think it sends an interesting message that the Democratic party's inclusiveness transcends geographical convenience.
