3. I am glad it went well for her. I wish Schumer was more personable like her.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I agree that he could be more of a leader, especially considering his seniority

But I have to give him credit that he agrees with Kirsten on most issues.

5. Schumer evolved on LGBT issues. I remember being at a LGBT meeting in 1997 where he got

called every name in the book for not supporting LGBT people

[Rhiannon12866]

6. And now he supports same sex marriage

I've wondered if Kirsten has been a good influence on him...

[hrmjustin]

7. I think LGBT donors were.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. That could be, too, but I still think she's had an influence on him

His views have moved further to the left than they used to be.

[hrmjustin]

9. Yes that is true.

He is better than D'Amato

[Rhiannon12866]

10. He certainly is that and even though he's from downstate, he doesn't forget about the North Country

[hrmjustin]

11. That is true.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I remember hearing recently that he was in Ticonderoga

Looking into a jobs program for veterans there. That's way up in Essex County. I lived there between the ages of 6 and 9, on the side of a mountain, looked straight down Lake George, beautiful country.

14. Wow not that is beautiful.

13. Kick and Rec!
