Possible list of replacements for Hillary's Senate seat.

Others suggested by Politico.com as possible replacements for Sen. Clinton are all from Long Island or the New York City area:

• Former President Bill Clinton

• Attorney General Andrew Cuomo

• Robert Kennedy Jr., an environmentalist and son of the late senator

• Rep. Nita Lowey

• Rep. Carolyn Maloney

• Rep. Greg Meeks

• Rep. Jerrold Nadler

• Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver

• Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi

• New York City Comptroller Bill Thompson

• Rep. Anthony Weiner

Robert Kennedy Jr would be okay but I would like to see Eliot Spitzer. The Wall Street Sherriff knows a lot about what happened.

5. Suppose he's wrong about mercury in vaccines.
He's still probably the most liberal person on that list.

14. The one where doctors and scientists and evil business mean conspire...
to give children autism with their evil vaccines.

"Are you sure he's wrong about his beliefs? "

Yes. Demonstrably.

3. they should replace her with a Latino congressman..
there are not too many of us, especially Democrats in the Senate.. granted, he/she should be qualified, but we also should be considered for a post after we have bent over backwards for Democrats for years..

Just a thought...

11. How do you know he/she will not be able to win
a State wide senate election? In the end, he/she is a Democrat.. Look at Menendez, he won..

12. Gregory Meeks is worthless
He does not listen and often votes in a way that does not benefit his constituents. Rated http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=842&Itemid=39">derelict by CBC monitor. (Unfortunately he's been running unopposed for years.) I'm tired of him as Representative I don't think he'd be a good Senator.

Regards

18. Ummm...Eliot Spitzer?
I don't think so somehow

Pity Dvid Paterson is Governor. He'd be a good choice. Charlie Rangel also but his age probably disqualifies him. Perhaps Carolyn Maloney? Kristen Gillibrand?

19. HRC is going to keep her Senate Seat. She will not allow herself nor hubby to be properly VETTED.
Bill's shady dealings since 2000 would be suspect.

Let Senator Clinton remain Senator Clinton.

I want NO MORE Clintonian Soap Operas playing out in the M$M and sucking all the oxygen out of any thoughtful efforts to truly make a beneficial change in this nation.

DRAMA thy name is "Clinton." :(
