..I'm much more of a Franken fan and always have been. I think he's just what we need now.

But I like and could get behind Gillibrand, even though I'm somewhat cautious about her. I think her recent moves (voting nay on so many of Trumps nominees) is definitely a more calculated positioning move on her part and not in keeping with her track record which is solid and without major controversy, but hardly the stuff of progressive firebrands.
