In the long term the demographics of NY State likely favor Democrats
controlling the State Senate, but for the next two years that's not likely
true. Increasingly, it seems the party's experience three years ago with the
"four amigos" has left too many sensible people rooting aganst John Sampson
and company to take over the upper house again.
Even Governor Cuomo has quietly done all he can to make sure his own
party is not in charge, and he is taking heat from the left for not putting
party over the people of New York.
While Pedro Espada and company are gone, and its true the GOP majority
really stands for little other than a block against far-left policies, it is
best if Dean Skelos remain as majority leader.
As for the Governor, he will take some carping for not standing with
Democrats, but he benefits by being seen as being able to transcend party
for the greater good.
In the capital your very being is defined by the box checked on a
voter registration form. That's now how real people see the world and Mr.
Cuomo is playing this wisely. |
