KW: Seems to be that the Democratic officials are whimping out, and willing to let Espada-the-traitor save face. As a voter from NY (who dislikes the Dems and Reps, but the Reps more), I am not pleased: Check out the full story at: The Capitol Confidential blog/Time Union Leaders nearing deal, fractured Dems sticking point […]

Party Switching and Accountability The Democrats seem to be so stubborn on the coup. Yes, they are avoiding convening as a full body and that seems assertive. But, here and there Democratic leaders keep giving up arguing points and retreating from battles where they could and should push forward. Some of it is perverse strategy, […]

It is a little after 3pm. I keep checking in at Capitol Confidential Blog (Times Union) and Daily Politics Blog (Daily News) to see what is happening in Albany. I think some Democrats were kind of locking down the chamber. But, the Republicans did get in and were trying to hold an improvised session. Governor […]

Sunday, June 21, early evening NY State Senate coup update: I am not so sure I like this strategy. And, I think it might play into the hands of the Republican usurpers. But… It appears that the NY State Senate session was slated to end on Monday. And, that the Governor has the power to […]

The Times Union/Capitol Confidential Blog reports that Governor Paterson has brought in two mediators–former Lieutenant Governor Stan Lundine and former State Senator John Dunne–to try to settle the dispute between the NY State Senate Democrats and Republians. Governor Paterson has also suggested a judge–Chief Judge Jonathan Lippmann– who could preside over a special session to […]

Some updates gathered from two sources–Daily Politics blog and Capitol Confidential blog: The judge dismissed the case the Democrats brought against the 32-30 Republican coalition vote last week. The Democrats and Republicans see that as meaning different things. The Democrats will not appeal the ruling, the Democrats just think the ruling means that the court […]

Some of the reasons for the NY State Senate coup that I have heard floated are: Republicans getting fierce about redistricting coming up; the vote on same-sex marriage coming up; personality conflicts among Democratic State Senators with their leadership; and some NYC business related to budgets and tenants issues. Though, knowing how few women are […]

As per news reported at the Time Union/Capitol Confidential and the Daily News/Elizabeth Benjamin’s blog: Instead of meeting the judges 1pm deadline to hammer everything out, all the parties did agree to a recess until 10am tomorrow, and that seemed to satisfy the judge for now. The Governor had tried to call a meeting of […]

Original Story at Room Eight: here. Re: NY State Senate coup, etc. Monserrate-Golisano Smoking Gun? June 14, 2009 / Room Eight It appears that Hiram Monserrate–precisely as hypothesized here [Room Eight] on Friday–was/is in desperate straits for money to pay his newly acquired, $750 per-hour, super-lawyer Joe Tacopina, and keep himself from a seven-year state […]

I just cannot believe that of all the problems in the world – including the sexist Republicans in the NY State Senate collaborating with Hiram Monserrate who is facing domestic violence charges – that the National Organization for Women (NOW) has decided to do an action alert against late night comedian David Letterman. Here are […]

What? Republican debutante Sarah Palin wants David Letterman to apologize for making a sexual joke ALLEGEDLY about her 14-year-old daughter?
