It's practically unheard of for an incumbent to lose a seat or for a challenger in the same party to force a primary. 17, things are different in Albany.

Democrats know they have a lock on certain seats and so there is no accountablility. If there was a real risk in losing to a Republican theywould fall in line.

Onorato is a machine Democratic politician who has a lock on the nomination. If anyone else in the party has the temerity to announce they want to run against him, the party establishment will crush him/her. Very, very sad state of affairs in Albany. 13 /14, so who will you vote for, a Republican, who would also likely be against gay marriage?

If you've been on liqcity, you'll notice that it has a freewheeling style. The guy posted something newsworthy about our state senator, and it deserves airing on a community blog. We've spend days debating far less meaningful issues on this blog. Perhaps liqcity will create a new thread and stick No. 1's comments there. I’m not as bothered as 9 and 10.

They have every right to voice their opinion, but they should at least have the common decency to do it in places on topic. If everybody voiced their random opinions all over the place, there would never be any conversation, just ignoring each other and shouting about what is important to them. What #1 did is on par with walking into a lecture and interrupting to discuss what is important to them. #5 – I am not in opposition to the bill as much as in opposition to the way the supporters go about pushing it.

No, Onorato is big part of the problem we have in our state. Simply put, he's a glad-handing insider with minimal accomplishments who has built a long career on the public tit. By manipulating the levers of power at his control, he gets re-elected over and over again. If the state is ever to recover again and to truly respond to the public, Onorato and the many others like him need to be sent packing.

Wow 3, thanks for confirming my suspicions about the opposition. Perhaps you need to re-read the little part where I say "Sorry for being extremely off-topic. But this is a great forum for what I want to say" That would imply that, no, I am not posting this all over the internet. But this is a blog about LIC, and would you believe that Onorato actually reps. LIC? Crazy, huh! "You are definitely not winning hearts and minds with that type of approach." By urging people who disagree with their representative in the legislature to actually contact this person and tell them so? You mean by exercising our most basic and fundamental rights in a representative democracy? How should I win hearts and minds, by encouraging violence? Go ahead, call him and compliment him on his vote. You gotta be a constituent though, if you know what that means. I, on the other hand, and thousands of others too, will also call and voice our opposition. Sincerely, a happily married heterosexual male “You really need to spam the entire Internet about this ?”
