The NY State Senate seats vary by up to 10% in population, in such a manner that favors the Republicans. In addition, prisons are used for additional population for gerrymandering, they can't vote, but they do count towards the population where the prison is. And of course incumbency favors the Republicans.

If the Democrats can win this race, they'll have a chance at the State Senate before the 2012 redistricting.

Sweet, those Republicans violating court orders didn't manage to win. In your face, losers. 2 more pickups in the State Senate, and Lt. Gov. Paterson gets to break ties for the Democrats.

this will set up another Special election.  This one to fill Johnson's seat in the county legislature.  Dems had a 10-9 advantage, now 9-9 with Johnson's victory.  Dems should keep the seat.

Too bad the fun probably stops there.
