Two downstate state senators defect to GOP.
May the rebellion grow and envelop the Feds.

Since this is an example of Dems switching to Pubbies, the NY Times will be all over the "political convenience" and "power grabbing".
Of course, when a Pubbie switches to being a Dem, they are "highly principled".

I just hope it’s not too evident— I’d prefer Obama’s Black Panthers and ACORN be overconfident in 2010.

Nah, they had control for 40+ years before this January, and I don’t remember saying that for a while.

I know this is a coincidence but this happens a day or two after Sarah Palin takes NY by storm and enunciates a conservative message that appears to be resonating not only there but throughout the nation.

Of course. I did not have time to read the reasons for the switch yet. This is good...but we have a long way to go.

This really sounds good.
On the other hand, most NY Republicans are not Conservative.
It is sort of a lose, lose situation.

Senate GOP seizes control of chamber-—Skelos gets control.
Both patriots are “Latinos” I think.
