I'm really far too busy right now to be paying even a tiny amount of attention to the NY state senate, which at the best of times requires a highly unproductive attention/sanity ratio. So allow me just to note that Monserrate and Espada are utterly useless hacks, and Diaz is a bigot. None of them are necessary in a state like New York. The NY GOP is pretty useless, and it's not exactly likely that this is a Comeback. Hopefully this wakes people up -- there's always been a lot of housecleaning to do, last November notwithstanding.
