Is Kirsten Gillibrand the real deal politically...?

[whttevrr]

When she talks she seems earnest and straightforward. She seems like a real asset to our nation.

Can people share their opinions of her?

1. She needs a voice coach. Superficial I know but she has no gravitas.

[FSogol]

2. Should she act more like Chris Christie?

[dkf]

6. I can't stand DiFi's politics but she has a certain mannerism and a deliberate delivery...

Hillary is pretty good also. Gillibrand is passionate but her voice is so young.

[whttevrr]

5. Really?

Her voice is what caught my attention. It seemed natural, real...

[dkf]

7. No kidding. Funny how that works.

3. She is very, very smart and got elected from a conservative district upstate.

Is she a national player? Will take a bit more seasoning and needs to polish her delivery.

But, she's definitely the best decision David Paterson ever made.

4. Yes.

She is on my short list for VP in 2016.

8. I think we need more people like her in political office.

9. I have followed her since she was elected Senator.

I have been impressed.
She is progressive on lots of issues. She also does a lot of outreach to her constituents. Not sure some others care that much in 'safe' districts.

10. Around here she can do no wrong.

11. I like her.

Seems like a good Democrat to me.
