GOP Has Edge to Retain Senate

   Republicans have a five to one cash advantage in their bid to retain control of the State Senate, while Democrats say they plan a push in eleven districts in a bid to reagain the control they briefly had during the Paterson Administration.
   That control highlighted the role of thugs in the caucus including former Senator Pedro Espada. All of that was a factor in flipping seats like ours back when Patty Ritchie ousted Darrel Aubertine two years ago.

    Now the Ritchie seat really isn't even in play, even though an Oswego County legislator is running against the Senator.
     The GOP will likely get wink of the eye support from Governor Cuomo who does not want the run up to 2016 marred by the governance seen in the Paterson years.
