One Closer in the New York Senate

The Democratic failure to take back the New York State Senate is one of the greatest shortfalls of the 2006 election. This morning, we are one seat closer to taking back control of that house (we already hold a supermajority of 107 out of 150 in the New York State Assembly). A Democrat was pulled into office on Spitzer's belated coattails in a historically Republican part of Long Island. The voters have sent a message: they want Democratic change in Albany. It is time for the moderate Republicans in the Senate to switch parties and support Spitzer's agenda of reform.
