Dang ! Maybe there’s hope for my state after all......
If not, at least it pisses some Dems off, so I’ll take it.

The Republicans in NY aren’t exactly renown for their conservatism. So this is most likely just a power play by a few ambitious democrats, rather than any sort of ideological or principled realignment.

This happens a lot in New York. The state is basically run by a trio of powerful elected officials: the governor, the Assembly speaker, and the Senate majority leader.
The state Senate is the only legislative body whose control is ever contested, with Democrats and Republicans having very narrrow margins at any given time ... so this results in all kinds of political games like this being played out in Albany.

Seems to me the Dems were pretty happy when Jumpin Jim Jeffords screwed the Republicans back in 2001.

The article doesn’t address the most fascinating question, which would be “Why the defections from the Democrat Party?”
