Robert:

Just curious, who might be your dream candidate for US Senate since you don't seem to like any of the ones offering themselves recently?

Thank you Ms. Maloney for your work in trying to pass the Credit card bill of rights for consumers. I hope you get this through this year.

One question though, Anything you can do to make the rule changes passed by the Fed at the end of 2008 become effective within 30 days instead of waiting until mid 2010? - That is TOO late

Does she have any say or any comment on what's going on with the vote on Yankee stadium tomorrow? Isn't it beyond absurd that when education and many other cuts are in the news (along with all the public transportation problems) that Yankee Stadium is up for more funding from the city?

Can you really pat yourself on the back about the 9/11 Commission Report?

There needs to be a commission to investigate that report. All the people working on it had ties to airlines and war contractors.

instead of passing special health care legislation for 9/11 victims, why not concentrate on universal health care for all americans?

How does Senator Carolyn Maloney help the Governor politically? Will he really need help winning most of New York City?

Wouldn't make sense to appoint and Upstater, Long Islander or Westchesterian?

Wouldn't they have an easier time holding on to the seat?

like robert, i would like the congresswoman to explain her rationale for voting for TARP withOUT using any part of the phrase "too big to fail". extra points awarded for refraining to place blame for the lack of oversight or consumer lending requirements on bernanke, kashkari et al.

if ms. maloney has her eyes on the open senatorial seat, ask her to explain how she would refrain from voting with the status quo again.

This time 'round (2008) I didn't vote for her because she voted for the "BAILOUT" and she will probably vote for the next part of it. I did not vote that line because I didn't like her opponents either, and will do same if she's on the ballot for US Senator unless I like an opponent.

I don't have a hard and fast position on any of the candidates except Kennedy (whose appointment I oppose), but if I had to pick one it would probably be Carolyn Maloney.
