Interesting. I haven't followed her career closely, but I think  there was a backlash against her after here quick rise to power? I guess toes were stepped on or some felt that it wasn't her ""turn""? New York politics is an interesting beast. Then there was that Kennedy thing too which I didn't understand why all of a sudden everyone turned on her. Was she making a play for the Senate seat Gillibrand ultimately got? I have trouble keeping track of these things. I believe one of my old friends also campaigned for Gillibrand. Has she staked out a postion on the Health Care reform bills?  Interesting times. Anyway, I tried to tweak the content as best I could based on the sources that were there. I left out any suggestion that she changed her position but tried clarify that her 100% NRA rating was as a house member (since there do seem to be indications that her position may have moderated and she voted against the senate bill which is not well sourced as far as what the bill was or what her position was but oh well)."
