  Surprise, surprise. In the closely watched state Senate race, Republican politicians think their party will maintain control of the chamber and Democrats feel otherwise. Republicans hold a 31-29 margin in the Senate.
  “In my heart, I believe there will be a Republican majority out there tomorrow,” former Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, R-Brunswick, Rensselaer County, said on an Albany radio station today.
  Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, said he thinks Democrats will wrest control of the Senate from the GOP and make Minority Leader Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, the majority leader.
  “I have no reason to believe it won’t be under his leadership,” Silver said on the radio show.
  Silver said he thinks the “Obama factor” is bringing out voters and helping Democratic candidates. “I just think that it’s a Democratic year,” he said.
