Democratic NY
Category: politics

According to unofficial results, Democrats captured 32 out of the 62 seats in the Senate. The shift marks the end of an era for New York Republicans, whose control of the Senate had come to depend on a bloc of senators, some in their 70s and 80s, who had put off retirement to help preserve the party's majority. --



So, the Democrats are in full control of the legislative and executive branches in New York State. Personally, I am hoping they legalize gay marriage, something that has previously passed the Assembly and has heretofore stalled in the Senate. Gov. Patterson is willing to sign such a bill. We'd be the first state to postively enact such legislation, instead of having courts make the call. A big, big, deal.

In general, it is now up to them to figure out how to cut the state budget by billions of dollars. I am not sure if they are up to the task or not, but I'll give them the benefit time to see if they can.

I do have to say though that having dems as president and full control of the house AND senate makes me a smidge nervous. I just don't want the pendulum to swing too far the other way this time.

I love Patterson. I wonder if he will marry me?
jason - 11/05/08 11:33
Yes, that's awesome news for gay marriage advocates! Things are looking way up. I hope soon you and James gan get hitched HERE, and not have to travel across the freaking country.

Cut the state budget. Good lord. They kicked and screamed about cutting it by a few lousy hundred of millions. I'm not as hopeful as you are about that.

CNN's technology is a bit too much. Most of the stuff they use now I find way too distracting. I kept on wanting Wolf to pull out a gun and shoot the hologram people.

Everybody shut up. This is AWESOME. :P

O.M.G. I can actually taste how good that bacon in chocolate would be. I know (e:josh) is all anti stoner food- but don't pretend like you wouldn't eat that..
