Kristin Gillibrand of New York recently: "Understand that you're not elected to the United States Senate to be a parakeet or to take instructions from the Democratic leadership." Ford, who is considering whether to run against Gillibrand, later elaborated on that. Voters want to elect representatives who show some independence. Like bluejays.
