Can the Democrats win both houses of the legislature this year?
Is there a realistic chance for the Democrats to take the New York Senate?

3. Ballot counting scandals in NY are a bi-partisan affair
Both parties cooperate to disenfranchise minorities in NYC.

5. I wasn't thinking of NY, where we still use lever machines . . .
I'm thinking more of states that have adopted electronic voting, and will be using Diebold and ES&S machines to cast their ballots . . . then the companies' software will do the tallying . . . nuff said . . .

2. Depends.
How do people in central NY feel about 9.75% sales tax? Woodstock '99? Joe Griffo does not deserve a promotion to the State Senate. Period. Hell, we need to fire his ass from the county supervisor's job he holds now.

Still, the battle for the State Senate will be waged Upstate. Hopefully Elliot Spitzer has coattails.

4. Yes, the state party is already counting its chickens
They were boasting on Inside Albany last week.
