I support female candidates for higher office as much as I can and I've had my eye on Gillibrand for a while.  I was concerned she couldn't move up in NY with her moderate record,  so needless to say I was ecstatic with her appointment.

For some reason everyone's randomly excited about Herseth-Sandlin.  She'll probably be governor in 2 years so I guess it's feasible someday.

And is Caroline's political career over before it began? I remember reading some posts indicating fear of her being on a ticket in 2016. lol

You can see communication would be a major problem. I like and admire her, but her speaking style isn't exactly the most appealing for a national spotlight.
