Gillibrand nervous about re-election?

Days after a recent Quinnipiac poll shows newly-appointed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand losing badly to Rep Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) in a primary, the New York Post reports that Gillibrand is worried about her political prospects in 2010.

SEN. Kirsten Gillibrand is nervously telling friends that Gov. Paterson's sharp drop in popularity may lead to her defeat in next year's all-but-certain Democratic primary.

Party insiders who have had recent contact with Gillibrand, a former Albany-area congresswoman who has had to backtrack on her past pro-gun and anti-illegal-immigration positions since being named to her post by Paterson, said she appeared nervous, frightened and even shell-shocked over the growing opposition to her.

"She's looking more and more like the proverbial deer in the headlights as she tries to convince activists to support her," said one of those she's courted. "She's very nervous and scared."
