I would be happy to support Kristen Gillibrand she is a fighter who would definitely be an asset to New York she is not a yes person and is definitely not running on her name alone.
Come on New york she could be our Next Hillary.

Carolyn Maloney

Spitzer of course.

Elliot Spitzer, of course.

An outstanding choice would be Shirley Ann Jackson, currently the President of RPI. She covers a number of political bases: upstate, black, female. And in the tradition of Daniel Moynihan, (and virtually no one else in the Senate) a true intellectual force: holder of a Ph.D. in theoretical elementary particle physics from M.I.T. ; a former Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; a theoretical physicist at AT&T Bell Laboratories; a former professor of theoretical physics at Rutgers University - and - for the past few years, the very successful and dynamic President of the prestigious and, in fact, oldest engineering and technology university in the English speaking world. We have the smartest people in the country in this state - lets try something truly revolutionary and send one of them to Washington!

Joe Lieberman, a great American and a great Democrat. He could be in the senate from two states. Word.

Seth,
I hate to tell you this, but I really would like Spitzer back.
If only because Wall Street hates him so much. He was prescient. And flawed. But...
And hjs is right, and really funny, with that circus quote.
Spitzer was set up. I mean, he walked into it. But let's get over it. A fallen man is a stronger, better man. Oedipus redeemed himself in the end, right? So can the Spitz!
Bring back the Spitz!

Can there be any doubt? How about Gary from Manhattan.

On PUMAs
Either way Seth and HJS, both the Senator’s supporters from the primaries and a couple of people in the GOP seem to be thrilled with her nomination to this post. Can’t wait for her tactic of thinly veiled racial, cultural, and theological innuendo to win over the Jews, Muslims, and Christians of the Middle East and spread peace across the land.

Go with what you know… I say Spitzer.

Having worked in local print media before starting a family, I came to know Long Island politicians relatively well. One of the most tirelessly devoted to public service and the constituency was and is Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy. She is a Democrat in a staunchly Republican town with popular Republican Pasta Nights and a very blue collar outlook. She's held her seat through Republican Congressional majorities because of her service. She has some star power with a made for TV movie about her family tragedy that inspired her service. She was a nurse and a Republican for running, experience to help us in our health care crises and bridge the aisle divide.

Seeing all the good choices people have listed so far, it's almost too bad NY only has 2 Sen seats.

It would be great if Obama could find jobs in his admin to offer some of these people who won't get selected by Patterson to fill Hillary's seat.

i still say PUMA was a covert GOP org.

hjs,

For the nanosecond, we're in good shape. Obama won, he picked Hillary for his cabinet (so hopefully the PUMAs will now accept Obama as legit), and David Patterson will appoint anyone but Spitzer to fill Hill's seat.

On the dark side, Saxby Chambliss will win today and Norm Coleman still has a chance of pulling it out in MN.

I didn't see eva's post, I'll check it out. Thx for the heads up.

seth
"having the circus come to town." really DC, a circus coming to DC, they'll have to fight the other circuses.
i don't think anyone
"disgraced his office and the state with his disgusting, reckless behavior" by having sex with a consenting adult.

BUT he's a hypocrite

Spitzer won't be the next senator and there are lots of better people

did u see eva posted yesterday

in order of choice

fernado ferrer
Robert kennedy jr.
Gail Brewer
Andrew Cuomo
Danny Goldberg
Elizabeth Holtzman
Deborah Glick
Stanley Crouch
jerry nadler
Paul Schindler

I would have put Spitzer on top if I thought the Governor could be an independant thinker.. but I know that is not possible.

jim fouratt

I propose Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney to replace Senator Clinton. She has been a leader in the Congress on legislation to benefit women and families. She has fought tirelessly for New York City and would be an effective advocate for New York State. She has a track record of getting things done and when it comes to addressing the needs of women and families, like Hillary Clinton, she does not take no for answer. She has the qualifications, the experience, and the toughness to be a great senator for New York.

#56 hjs,

We have many, many extremely talented and smart people from which to choose. My point is that picking Spitzer would be like having the circus come to town. His transgressions might not matter to you, but I don't want an incoming US senator who is weighed down by scandal and sleaze from the moment he's sworn into office. Let's be thankful for the many talented people we have to fill this seat.

Elise from Jersey City, While I agree it would be wonderful to have another openly gay person in the US Senate, from all I know of her, the only thing Christine Quinn has done for the LGBTQ community is prove there is no need to fear having openly gay representatives because they will be no less or greater a crook than their heterosexual counterparts. Who Ms. Quinn sleeps with shouldn’t be a qualification or disqualification for appointment.

Cuomo the Elder, a maestro.

Having worked in local journalism, I got to know a lot of politicians from Long Island and by far one of the mist tireless advocates of the voters in my observation was and is Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy. She is a Democrat is a solidly Republican, blue collar suburban town, Mineola, the county seat in central Nassau. She has name recognition because of the family tragedy that inspired her public service and coverage of it, including a TV movie. She was a nurse and a Republican before she ran and would bring, as she does in Congress, a great deal of insight in our health crises and she'd bridge the aisle divide.

please no one from upstate

I agree with both #61 and #63, but this will be a political appointment fraught with backroom deals, gamesmanship, and ulterior motives. This isn't an appointment for the people of New York.

Western New York representation--Byron Brown or Brian Higgins.

Sigh. So disappointed Howie Hawkins wasn't mentioned on the air.

I love Peter King, but Mario Cuomo would be a good Dem.

charles baron

Gee, I was serious about Silda Wall Spitzer, your guest laughed. I really think she's qualified.

We need Western New York Representation--Brian Higgins or Byron Brown

RFK Jr. just dropped out, according to NY Times.

“I have spent lots of time thinking about it,” Mr. Kennedy said in an interview. “I have spent time talking with my uncle, by brothers, my cousin and, of course, my wife. And I think I’m in a good position right now doing what I’m doing.”

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/robert-f-kennedys-son-not-interested-in-senate-seat/

Not Nydia Velazquez! She's been my 'representative' since the start. Her constituent services have wasted my time, and she doesn't even respond to letters about policy. I can't see giving her a promotion. If my district weren't so gerrymandered (we are spread into three counties) we'd have a better shot at replacing her.

I think that the primary criteria for a senator from New York should be their ability to do the job of representing the states interests and the people. I am disheartened that your guests are focusing on fundraising and maintaining the democrats control of every congressional and senate seat. We want someone with experience and knowledge of the state as the senator. I would love it if Nina Lowey would change her mind and serve the state as our senator.

Bess from Manhattan: So you want to replace one bought woman with another? Okay, maybe that was too harsh on Senator Clinton, but really... What has Christine Quinn proved herself accomplished at other than political gamesmanship, neighborhood protectionism, and being readily susceptible to influence from big business?

Richard Williams from Larchmont NY!!

There, you got 1 vote!

why hasn't anyone said michael bloomberg?

I don't want Bill Clinton, I'm tired of dynasties and rehashes. We've had our fill of Bush and even Kennedy.
Oh good, he's not interested.

Clinton...interesting...but I want him to run for mayor...

Once Hillary clears, Bill Clinton will do whatever he wants in terms of speaking or deal-making. What are they going to do, fire her?

Christine Quinn! let's get another openly gay person into the Senate

Nita Lowey. I agree that she was screwed out of the nomination by Charlie Rangel who pushed her aside in favor of Hillary because he felt they needed a well-known person; the same argument Rangel rejected when it was suggested that McCall step aside in favor of Andrew Cuomo. Rangel said it was "Carl's time" but not Nita's. Lowey's positions and record is almost like Hillary's and it would be as if she never left.I reject the notion that a minority has to be appointed because there is none otherwise. If they can't get elected on their own, appointmenrt is the worst kind of patronizationj.

NYS Senator Suzi Oppenheimer

How about someone who'll actually work for NY?

Andrew Cuomo left HUD in shambles and with a few sexual discrimination lawsuits following him.

It should be the BEST PERSON for the job--the senate seat--, regardless of race, color, gender, sexuality, religion, political ties, etc. And Although, a politician would be the best person for the senate seat, politics should be put aside when Patterson makes his decision.

Mahmoud Abbas

I want to get rid of Christine Quinn...COMPLETELY! PLEEZE.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn...for sure. One strong, intelligent woman to replace another strong, intelligent woman.

PLAXICO IS CURRENTLY A RESIDENT OF nj.
HE MAY BE A GUEST RESIDENT

Seriously: Gilbrand -- a member of Congress from the Glens Falls Area.

Christie Brinkley. Good name recognition. Fund raising - Billy Joel can help out. She is a single mom.

seth, he who is without sin....

How about someone who has no Presidential ambitions and who doesn't have a national agenda?

I want a good old fashion hack who can get as much as he can from the Federal Budget for New York.

OK you want a woman, if not Eliot then how about Silda Wall Spitzer? She's got my full confidence.

I was ready to say Christine Quinn, but changed my mind: I want to keep her here.

Please let's not invoke race into this. How about the most qualified person?? huh?? Whatever happened to that?

Brian Lehrer. Seriously, who is better informed? and more articulate?

Second choice: Reverend Calvin Butts.

CAROLINE KENNEDY !!!

Bob Kerry?

Bill Wled, darkhorse.

RFK, Jr.
Period. 'Nuff said.

How about an UPSTATE Democrat that could bridge the divide and bring together the state's interests? Senator Schumer more than adequately reps NYC

andrew weiner, then we won't have to worry about him being mayor. i just couldn't stand to see him everyday

I'll put my bid in for Senator Hillary Clinton. She'll be much better as the Junior Senator from New York than the chief diplomat for the United States of America.

Newt Gingrich

Caroline Kennedy or Bobby Kennedy Jr.

Caroline is a great eductaion advocate. RFK jr. for his environmental work.

There are lots of great choices. A few names to consider -
Elizabeth Holtzman, Ronnie Eldridge, Mark Green, Carl McCall, Jerrold Nadler

Absolutely no way should it be Eliot Spitzer. He disgraced his office and the state with his disgusting, reckless behavior and he's a hypocrite. You can't attack on Repubs on ethics and then choose someone as radioactive as Eliot Spitzer to join the Senate.

Me too, Eliot Spitzer. We (read: You all) screwed him, let's all unscrew him. He's good and gets the job done.

Giuliani, or a any republican. We need balance in Congress.

Thomas White, Jr. or Melinda Katz!

Suha Arafat

and that was the so-called NY Senate "debates" in 2006

not one of the usual suspects, like Caroline Kennedy?

Giuliani, or a Republican. We need some balance in Congress. That's the whole point of how Congress established -- to have a system of checks and balances.

Howie Hawkins, who should have been included in the 'debates" with Hillary Clinton and John Spencer in 2006.

John Hall!

Eliot Spitzer.

Louise Slaughter or Nita Lowey

NYC Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden or NYU President John Sexton. If we're choosing among politicians, then Nadler, Louise Slaughter, or Mark Green (to second a previous comment).

Carolyn McCarthy...would be great.

How about Carolyn McCarthy? She would be terrific, knows her way around Washington and might be a fine senator.

Kristen Gillibrand
She has been a good Represetative from Upstate NY
She's a woman.

Bill Clinton should be tapped to fill Hillary's spot in the Senate.

Yes, Eliot Spitzer.

You see, there's this guy out there who has already demonstrated that he is committed to public service and that the people of New York State elected to statewide office, and he's not busy while being in the prime of this life (for this kind of thing). He's underutilized.

Why not? Because he had an affair? That's his private life, and really should have no bearing on his ability to serve. Because he hired a prostitute he is disqualified? What about Sen. David Vitter?

This guy has not been -- and will not be -- convicted or even charged with a crime there. There was no misuse of public funds or public power.

If one of the big reasons given to waive term limits was that Bloomberg is so ideally suited to deal with the national financial crisis, we can move past our prurient interests so let a man who's been investigating Wall St. malfeasance lend his expertise to the senate. After all, it's congress who is going to be enacting new legislation to govern Wall St, not the local mayor.

Eliot Spitzer.

Plaxico Buress.

Come on, give him a shot.

I would like to see Kristen Gillibrand appointed to Hillary Clinton's Senate seat.

She's been a good Representative from Upstate NY and she's a woman

I suggest Hamilton Fish V, president of the Nation Institute and scion of several old NY families.

I've got it. How about a good-looking guy who's half black with no leadership experience but who has written a few books:
Malcolm Gladwell!

Carol Bellamy, Nita Lowey, Carolyn Maloney.

Spitzer! New York isn't a Puritan state—I just moved to Wisconsin and we have a pro-pot Socialist in the capital's mayoral seat. If we can do that, then you can have Spitzer. It's time to stop pretending we're a bunch of uptight pilgrims.

Congresswoman Nydia Velazques who worked very hard for Hillary Clinton in her campaign. It should be a woman who is picked and having a progressive woman who can represent the Latino community and small business would be very helpful now. We need someone to defend the immigrant population who has been so under attack in the country under the Bush administration.

Nydia Velasquez

Eliot Spitzer!

Jerry Nadler. On merit although he clearly does not fit the Clyde Haberman profile from his NYT article.

I feel it should be a well qualified latino as we are a huge part New York City and New York States population that can not be ignored. We have an African American Governer by a fluke, we have a Senator Chuck Schumer, we have a Mayor Bloomberg, we dont have any latinos that I know, appointed to any high level positions.

CUOMO. BUT NOT ANDREW.... MARIO!

REP. JOE CROWLEY(D-QUEENS)

Bill Clinton. I'm not kidding.

Anthony Weiner or Hiram Monserrate or Christine Quinn, I would like to see one of these 3

I would hope that Paterson not feel constrained by identity politics or regional balance: Jerrold Nadler should be senator.

No established politician. I am an unemployed music teacher. How about me? I am more than happy to take Senator Clinton's place.

Elliot Spitzer. As all the cards fall at Wall St., mortage collapse, AIG he is looking prescient. Just read his Washington Post article in light of today's events and it is chilling. Clearly he was "done in" for his attempts to protect us. Do you really think he's the only politician to visit a prostitute?

NY State Senator Diane Savino

BILL CLINTON

I'd like to see Mark Green appointed to the Senate.
He's been a tireless public servant and is beholden to no special interests.

Thomas Souzzi.

It doesn't matter they're all a bunch of liars and crooks.

Including Barack W. Bush.

Eliot Spitzer
