Dems say it’s a wrap
Sen. Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, just announced that he has 32 votes to be elected majority leader when the legislative session opens tomorrow. Members of the Senate Democratic conference held a closed-door meeting to discuss leadership and other matters.
Toward the end of of the meeting, they were joined by three New York City Democrats who had threatened to join forces with outgoing Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County. Conference members (except for one, Sen. Hiram Monserrate) emerged a few minutes later, with Smith confirming that he had 32 votes in support of his leadership.

and on the national republican front this just in:
Select members of the Republican National Committee voted Tuesday not to hold a straw poll to determine which of the candidates for party chairman are conservative enough to run the organization.
that is the end of the domination of the party by
the radical right
I am not sure how you draw that conclusion. It is a blow to the current RNC Chairman, that is it. In fact, the candidate it benefits the most, Ken Blackwell is the most conservative candidate in the race.
Seldom right and wrong again, Consultant. And for someone who gets angry any time someone calls him out on his inconsistencies, you sure make many mean-spirited attacks on others, especially social conservatives.
Since you voted for Obama I don’t think most of us in the GOP care too much about your opinion on GOP affairs. If you want a seat at the table, you have to be willing to support the candidate the party chooses.
