You don't understand how it works in New York. Democrats in the State Assembly didn't vote how their districts wanted them to, they voted how Shelly Silver told them to vote. Many a local Democrat assemblyman sold his soul to Silver , and even occasionally faced grief in their home district for their votes on gun control and gay marriage due to Sheldon Silvers commands. All that was promised them for doing so, apparently is going up in smoke. The house of cards is collapsing. Hence, a state of panic.

Ah, machine politics! Thanks for the info, looks like those who sold their votes weren’t smart enough to collect before dispensing their political favors, so to speak... I love it when a plan falls apart!
