Gillibrand looks to me like someone who will try to play the long game, who will be a constant but reduced presence there until everyone else collapses. Something like Kasich. Might not be a good plan anyways. That or she'll be another Scott Walker.

The whole point of a primary is to win big early on and gain "momentum" (at least in theory). The fact that most of the recent presidential primaries have dragged on has made people forget that they're often decided by Super Tuesday or earlier.
