New York Governor David Patterson has appointed an NRA-backed, moderately conservative upstate Congresswoman to replace out-going Senator Hillary Clinton. Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand has gotten the nod and brings with her a voting record that includes opposition to the TARP bailout.
The New York Post is reporting left-leaning Democrats are unhappy about the appointment. Some are even threatening a primary challenge in 2010. So much for party unity.
