now we get someone who goes in as the most junior snenator and it's not even a given that in 2010 she will even win her own party's primary - thus having NY lose tenure in the senate again!

Ask Obama if tenure determines quality. If tenure meant everything, West Virginia would get a huge share of the pie relative to their size... they don't.
