Competition Cleared for Gillibrand in NY Senate Seat Race

Published June 29, 2009 @ 09:14PM PT

Is it true? Is President Obama clearing the field for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand so she can win the Senate seat in New York fair and square? First ACORN, now NARAL endorses her run. From Ben Smith at Politico:

Gillibrand picks up NARAL endorsement

A significant get ahead of a potential primary and a blow to Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who is looking to run to Gillibrand's left:

Washington, DC — Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, announced that her organization’s political action committee proudly endorses Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the special primary election slated for September 2010.
