This video relates indirectly to the current Republican coup happening in the NY State Senate. Check out “Reason Number Three” to like third parties and you will see why. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWE13jpo6U] I think that if there were third party Senators in the mix, the NY State Senate would be a lot more small “d” democratic, and […]

A detailed update is at the Daily News Political Blog: here. As per a post at that blog – the Republicans were able to hold session inside the NY State Senate chamber (which appears to mean the Democrats could not get a court injunction.) Someone said that the list of business was locked in a […]
