The win by Patty Ritchie over Darrel Aubertine is taking on more and more importance as the Democrats are just plain running out of votes in hopes of retaining two other seats they are on the verge of losing.
Senators Craig Johnson of Long Island and Antoine Thompson of Buffalo are trailing and the number of remaining disputed ballots is likely not enough to change anything...
That means the 32-30 GOP majority is virtually assured.

That all boils down to Senate will be dictated by Skelos and the Assembly by Silver.. Whats the difference.. Long Island or NYC.
Pat Ritchie simply fall in line and do what shes told..
In the Mid-Term election the dis-information by the Republican and Tea-Parties, attempted to persuade us that job creation was not something government really could devote itself to. That job creation itself was simply put the by-product of an economically vibrant private sector in a profit driven free market system. Of course the IPO for GM, a Corp. that was recently saved by Pres. Obama and the American tax payer refute that notion entirely. A million jobs were saved by government stepping in to aid a failing corporation. We live in an age of failing Corporations, Banks, Financial Service Houses, etc. but the dis-infromation put out in NNY this election spoke to people who are addicted to free stuff. We were told that representatives like Darrel Aubertine, who won their districts desparately needed earmark monies to keep prisons or hospitals open were the problem. The problem wasn't really the catostrophic economic conditions bought about by the financial rape of Americans, by Wall Sreet and the Banking Industry. You add in the blank check that China has enjoyed in selling subsidized products in our country over the last two decades and is it any wonder jobs have vanished by the thousands in NYS. Our policies on trade have been a disaster, and have served to undermine domestic verticals in NYS; where in the Paper Mill Industry alone, 4,400 jobs were lost and 440 were in NNY. Also companies like Alcoa, are another good example of our government failing to insist on fair trade practices to protect jobs here at home. China gets away with murder because they can hang the fact that they currently hold massive amounts of US currency in reserve; which they can dump on the world monetary market at anytime to undermine the value of the US dollar. Couple this with the fact that the Republicans want us to believe the Middle-Class no longer exists, and that Americans are selfish for believing they have a right to a standard of living thought to be a normal aspiration in my generation and you have the seeds for the biggest political backlash of my lifetime. Over the next two years Americans are going to see Republicans and Tea-party members for the mindless propagandists they really are, and voice their displeasure at the voting booth. A just reward for the lack of any real Republican programs to effect positive change, that includes creation of jobs, or real tax relief for the Middle-Class. So just continue saying 'NO' Republicans and Tea Party members so that in two years we can say 'Good-bye' and vote you out of office for te idea barren protectors of the rich and vested interests you are every waking moment of your lives.
