1. I was under the impression that Gillibrand

was vulnerable? This makes it look like she has a cakewalk to the election. Did something change, were the reports wrong or was I mixing her up with another candidate elsewhere?

This is great news. It's also looking like CT has strong leads for the Dems for both the Gov and Senate seat.

4. It is still early but I am not surprised to see Gillibrand in the lead. She has

Done a good job in the Senate not giving people a reason to remove her from the job. Media coverage has been devoid of scandals unlike her Republican challengers. She has kept her nose clean and is a good politician unless there is some major dirt on her that has not been revealed she will keep her seat.

2. Cuomo gonna kick some ass.

Let's just hope he doesn't go the same way as Spitzer did.

3. As a political story, Sen. Gillibrand has had a very impressive

year and a half or so.

I'm impressed.

5. Oh snap, that kid from 'A Brox Tale' is running again?
