While no Democrats have jumped on the declining poll numbers of Governor Paterson to suggest their own potential run for governor, they seem to be chomping at the bit to exploit the potential vulnerability of new Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Yesterday Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer said he's considering a run, telling the Times, “Voters have an expectation for a Senate seat held by Kennedy, Moynihan, that there will be a discussion of issues through the electoral process.” Stringer added that he would not run in the primaries if another potential candidate does—Long Island Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney. Despite Gillibrand's softening of many of her pro-gun stances while in the House, Maloney continues to sound unimpressed by her. Maloney said, “She’s turned her opinion on just about everything, but people are seeing through that. Who is she? What does she stand for? That’s going to be her biggest problem, that she flips on everything.”
