PastaJoe Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 So, Nita Lowey "deserves" a Senate seat because she was considering running once before? Gee, she is, therefore, loaded with qualifications.... And let's not even think about scouring the bushes for a Kennedy to appoint. Although, maybe Bobby Kennedy should be considered since he appears to have the same qualifications evidenced by Eliot Spitzer! I didn't say she deserved it, but the fact is that she has the experience and qualifications to be Senator. Rep. Slaughter could be an interim appointment and then someone else like Cuomo could run in 2010. The Buffalo mayor is also a possiblity.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Pity none of us can come up with someone from WNY or CNY as a suitable replacement. I think Brian Higgins eventually would be great.
Keukasmallie Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I agree, Nita Lowey has the requisite qualifications to be Senator from NYS. She's been around a long time and she has sucked up to the right people, i.e, the Clintons. I also agree with you about Weezy. Old (so she has some chits to cash), long time in grade, in the right party at the moment...what else could possibly be important?
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I think Brian Higgins eventually would be great. Hes a good guy and comes from blue collar environment
IDBillzFan Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Not having as deep an understanding of Washington "politics as usual" as many here seem to have, I was just curious: is Hillary accepting the position of Sec. of State equivalent to her conceding that she won't run in 2012? (I know she already said she wouldn't run, but given she's a Clinton, I put no stock in that comment immediately after she bowed out. I'm mostly curious if making her Sec. of State keeps her out in 2012.)
buckeyemike Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I think it could be ol' Billy Boy. Hill's gonna be out of the country a lot. Bill needs to occupy himself, or else he's just gonna be chasing more and more tail around NYS in the next four years.

Out!@#$ingstanding!!
