Reply #2: Republicans are going nuts here in Upstate New York. For years and [View All]

[hedgehog]

years, the Assembly and State Senate Districts were gerrymandered so that we've had Democrats running the lower house and Republicans running the upper house. Effectively, 3 men ran New York; the Governor, the Senate Majority Leader and the Assembly Majority Leader. I think the Republicans are within 2 seats of losing their hold over the State Senate.

One possible change: the Republicans have made an art out of pitting the intersts of small city/rural Upstate vs those of New York City.
