Watch the terrified Democratic and Republican men find the most conservative candidates to challenge them! Obama! Romney!

With Maloney already attacking Gillibrand's "character", this seems certain to be a bitter personal fight in which both women lose stature and respect. Both women are very good at their jobs and are needed in the House and the Senate, respectively. I hope Maloney reconsiders and makes good use of her seniority and new-found power in the House. Gillibrand shows promise to become a truly gifted leader in the Senate. A primary will be a lose-lose for New York progressive women.

Two true activists that we need fighting for the women of this country. I like having them both in DC! I admire and appreciate the work of both these women as well Nancy.

I believe the media would like nothing better then a cat fight to improve their ratings. The press will do everything it can to stoke the fire and publish semi-truths, innuendo etc. in order to prolong and divide. My hope is that these campaigns can be based on competence, experience and resume. Unfortunately we know from the primary and last election that the reality base has been demeaned by the process, the media and the money. Perhaps if the leading women's groups monitor the reporting and call out any press organization who goes beyond the issues and uses gossipy hearsay, unnamed sources, or inappropriate reporting tactics we might be able to show the country how real women of substance can compete in an intelligent and gracious manner to work towards the public good.
