Is anyone else watching the CNN town hall with Sen. Gillabrand?

I will vote for her if she is the nominee, but for some reason she is not appealing to me at all.
I think she is doing fine tonight though, can't say I disagree with anything she's said.

I assume they have them available on their website.

She hasn't lit a real spark in me so far. I think the debates will be so interesting, though, to see how that changes how I feel about the candidates.

so far, but I am not counting anyone out yet and wouldn't be surprised if my feelings changed after seeing the debates.

Voted for her here in NY but I have always been lukewarm about her performance.
She was an upstate conservative until she realized she would get more traction with the Dems.

I hate my self for being shallow, but she comes across as too pleading or beseeching to me.

I have to say that I find her kind of boring. I would be lying if I didn't say that listening to her feels kind of tedious. I don't dislike her or anything. She's just not very compelling.

Every time I hear her speak, it’s almost like she is trying too hard to be liked and I never get a sense she is sincere.

And I really hope those that can't will drop out early because ensuring the right person is nominated is too important.
