In Albany, Democrats Face Losing the Senate
(New York Times) — Two years after seizing control of the State Senate for the first time in more than four decades, New York Democrats are in grave danger of losing their narrow majority on Tuesday. Despite a huge financial advantage and a popular candidate for governor at the top of the ticket, a half-dozen Democratic incumbents are trying to stave off defeat and help the party hang on to its 32-to-30 advantage. The Democratic victory in 2008 opened the door for a tide of left-leaning policies; Senate Democrats voted to enshrine rights for domestic workers, legalize no-fault divorce and ease Rockefeller-era drug laws.
