HTN: Senate Summit Meeting

Senate designee Kirsten Gillibrand met with Hillary Clinton Sunday in Manhattan. The meeting at the Waldorf Astoria also included Governor David Paterson and Senator Chuck Schumer. At a press conference after the meeting, Paterson did a lot of the talking, defending his choice.
Paterson also said he gave "no signal" for Caroline Kennedy to withdraw her name from consideration, and that Kennedy had "nothing prohibiting her" from serving in the Senate. For her part, Gillibrand says she plans to hit the ground running.
