*'''New York-Special Election'''
*'''New York-Special Election'''
Democrat [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] was appointed by Governor [[David Patterson]] to replace [[Hillary Clinton]] after much confusion on his part. Patterson mishandled the proposed appointment of [[Caroline Kennedy]], gaining ridicule for both of them. Gillibrand’s moderate views alienated the left wing of the Democratic Party. She has proven a remarkably successful fundraiser, and primary challengers have dropped away. Nine-term Congressman [[Peter King]] considered seeking the Republican nomination but later declined to run. Republicans are trying to recruit former Governor [[George Pataki]], who runs even in the polls with Gillibrand. Some Republican leaders have tried to urge former New York City Mayor [[Rudy Giuliani]] to run, although he appears more interested in seeking the governorship. <ref>http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/gop_pushing_sen_giuliani_RqZSxXw0fxIeppuGc5NUTL</ref>
