We nominated the liberal, who is also kind of cute over the pro-life Moderate Hero in 5B. Good.

She isn't just cute. She is beautiful.

The son Congressman Ed Towns got appointed into the administration of Andrew Cuomo, opening up an Assembly District in East New York.  A Vito Lopez ally, Erik Martin Dilan (son of a State Senator), is favored: http://www.thebrooklynpolitics.com/post/3225030815/councilman-erik-martin-dilan-favored-in-special

Actually, another one of the Towns family, maybe Deirdra Towns, could take the seat as well.

Are they going to decide it over the dinner table?

This is just the start.

With election in 2011, expect more Mississippi elected elected officials to jump off the sinking ship of the Democratic party.

Chill out dude. The Democratic ship has sunk in Mississippi since 1964.

Who cares anyway? The real battle over who controls the senate was given during redistricting and there Cuomo screwed royally his fellow Democrats.
