Creating religious districts — whether it’s 90% Orthodox Jewish or 90% Irish Catholic or 90% whatever religion — is a dangerous and scary step. What Felder just did is to add more gunpowder to that tinderbox.

You’re ignoring the possibility that another orthodox Jew might challenge Felder at some point in time. NOBODY has a lock on ANYTHING in politics — especially not for ten years.

Mr. Felder was very clear with voters even before the election that he may conference with the Republicans.

He has a lock on his district for the next 10 years, at least, until the 2022 redistricting as his District is 90% Orthodox Jewish.

While the insiders and the LCA talk about the problems with the Senate Democrats leadership skills,the Republican spin machine continues to rule at the expense of all New Yorkers. The tax and spenders who claim to be tax cutters are the hypocrites known as the Senate Republicans. In the past 20 years they have increased spending in NY by more than $100 billion and have nothing to show for it. Wake up LCA and stop spewing the rhetoric that has lulled this state towards the fiscal cliff while telling us whatever we want tohear. Patheticstate.

Very curious timing. How can he even know that he’ll be in the Majority? If the Dems win that 32nd vote, will be flip back? By the way, everyone else that ever flipped sides is out of the Senate and, in some cases, in jail. Just saying…. Not a very high character move for become a turncoat.

Anyone who decides to vote with the Senate Republicans and does not insist on Skelos and Libous stepping aside for a new leadership team is a fool. Skelos and Libous have steered the Titanic into the iceberb twice in the past four years, and are absolutely going to do so again. Bon voyage, Simcha!
