I rarely have a chance to look at TOTV of late, but I did follow a thread a while back about the forthcoming senate selection for New York State, important to me as a New Yorker, and wondering if the posters were similarly New Yorkers or were just making political comment. Well, it's now four days since Governor Patterson made his choice--not Caroline Kennedy but rather Kirsten Gillibrand--and I cannot help but notice that NO ONE has added to the thread where previously everyone expressed absolute certainty that Kennedy was a foregone conclusion. I don't do political posts; my interest here has to do with knowing that what happens in New York affects me as a New Yorker. Hmmm....
