People like to rag on Meagan McCain and say that she's terrible and is ruining The View, but she doing exactly what she's getting paid to do which is create drama so that people talk about the show the next morning. In that sense she's good for the show.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
What had Hilary Clinton done to be worthy of being a senator in a state she didn't even live in before being annointed one for New York?
Riding the coattails of a more talented and famous relative is quite normal in American politics. You can even see that it goes back to the early days of the country when John Quincy Adams rode the coattails of his father John Adams to the presidency.
We needed a shot of The Hard Left in our politics after years of The Tea Party. Nonetheless, The Hard Left's desire for ideological purity has them on a path to be a Mirror Universe version of The Tea Party.
Dark does not mean deep.
The seat in NY previously belonged to Moynihan - who was one of the most high profile members of the Senate until he stepped down. Anyone taking that seat would have gotten a spotlight on them, doubly so when you consider who Hilary was. As a resident of the state when she ran, many of us considered her a carpetbagger. But, after she was elected she at least made sure to visit every county in the state once a year, something the current governor isn't able to do. According to a friend I have who still lives there, Cuomo hasn't been been to that area since the Dannemora prison escape, where he contaminated a crime scene for a photo op. Just like his father, Andrew is the governor of New York City, and the rest of the state can be damned.

I personally suggest that those who are truly progressive fight for their cause as fervently as they can, and that they don't sit out the process if they don't happen to get exactly what they wanted. That does more harm to their professed goals than any 'establishment corporatist' ever could.
