Senate Democrat Incumbent: Hey, I'm New Here in Washington!

Even facing nominal GOP opposition in New York, Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand doing her best to distance herself from her own party. Forget the fact the name Obama isn't mentioned, it's curious that in this spot the word Democrat is neither seen nor heard.

She pretends she's for "transparency," whatever that means these days. That's funny since she voted for ObamaCare before even reading the bill.

Elected to Congress in 2006 before assuming Hillary Clinton's seat in 2009, Gillibrand claims she hasn't been in Washington for long. Four years seems plenty long.

The occasional incumbent/establishment carnage witnessed again last night seems to have inspired Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the cutting her first TV spot.

“I haven’t been in Washington long, but I’ve been there long enough to know things are broken,” she says in opening the ad.

She closes it by saying congress shouldn’t be able to give itself raises.

So, don’t blame her, and her colleagues don’t deserve a pay raise. Got it?

For all the babbleheads and political "experts" cackling over Christine O'Donnell today, at least she's not shy about telling you what party she represents, unlike Democrats who are running for the hills.
