In NY State Senate which went 32-31 for the GOP it seems the 5 member Independent Democratic Conference which all got re-elected and led by Klein has decided to continue their alliance with the GOP. In addition to that Democrat Felder of Brooklyn will also continue to Caucus with the GOP. So now it will be 38-25 majority for GOP/IDC. The GOP in theory does not need this alliance but they are looking forward to 2016 where they might lose their majority again and will need the IDC to continue their control. For for all 6 Democrats they completely scammed their party. They promised De Blasio, WFP, and the Liberal wing of the NY State Democrats to return to the Dem fold if the Democrats retain (on paper) control of the NY State Senate. Cuomo who supported the IDC alliance with GOP also got the WFP line in return for his promise to get the IDC to come back into the Dem fold. All 6 Democrats as a result did not face any real primary nor general election challenge funded/supported by De Blasio, WFP, and the Liberal win of the Democrats. They also got no or very token opposition from the GOP and pretty much sleepwalked to reelection. Cuomo who was suppose to campaign hard to get the Dems the NY State Senate majority pretty much did nothing and sat out the election. After the election when it turns out the GOP win a majority the IDC and Felder all went back to GOP who welcome them with open arms. To be fair, in 2016 it will be a different affair as all 6 will face major challenges from the Liberal win of the Democrats although they are more likely to get direct support from GOP. 2016 NY State Senate election will be fun.
lol. De Blasio not looking too smart right now
