The thing that makes the senate map so interesting is that despite the crazy lines the Republicans didn't capitalize as much as they would have if they got rid of a few of those useless gerrymanderings and included more Conservative areas in less liberal or democratic districts (giving Brighton Beach and part of Sheepshead bay to Savino ranks as one of the dumbest political moves in this map and creates a counterproductive gerrymander)
personally I think there trying to help all 4 independent democrats even when they could win some of those seats. (there are plenty of useless gerrymanders in this map and a few other places where the Republicans would have been better of making straighter lines if they would ave wanted to win that seat (ex. parts of Forrest Hills))
