Gillibrand was on PBS NewsHour this evening

for some reason I cannot find a link.

Anyway, decided to stick around and listen.

And... all she was talking was about women issues. Of course, these are important, but I don't think that anyone can win running on a single issue, regardless on how important it is.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

she's gotta' grasp at something. With SO many well-qualified candidates out there and the baggage she's hauling from the Senator Franken issue, I just don't get what makes her think she should even bother, starting tomorrow.

If it calls attention to women's issues, that's a good thing.

If it calls more attention to Gilli, then maybe not so good.

I guess I'd vote for her over De Blasio. Maybe.
