Although the Long Island Republicans backed the SAFE Act I think the Senate is of more immediate interest than the Governor's race. Astorino is a longshot, yes Democrats vote less in off year elections and yeah maybe Democrats will stay home because they never even heard of Astorino while motivated Republicans upstate will turn out in hordes-but the GOP has a much better shot at keeping the Senate than getting Astorino in.
If the Senate falls to the Democrats it will be gunpocalypse. Both houses and probably the Governor's office will be controlled by Democrats. We will see microstamping passed and many pistol manufacturers will just stop selling in NY. We may see a new SAFE Act that will restrict registered assault weapon possession to the home and the range, no hunting or just having one in your car, we may see restrictions on owning more than two magazines for a firearm (that has been proposed before), requirements for insurance that will be super expensive or maybe unobtainable, requirements that firearms have to be always locked up in a safe at your home and on and on.

My bet is that Libous' tenure is going to be short-lived (pun intended ) after the election and he'll likely be gone by Christmas. his departure could create the spectacle of special election for his seat that could determine the ongoing control of the senate.

The expectation at this point is that the Republicans will control the Senate outright; the predictions I've seen give us 32 seats. While the downstate Republicans did fuck us with SAFE, they will have less incentive to play ball with Cuomo if they don't need the IDC to stay in power. If the Democrats take control outright, then we're fucked. |

That's why I don't know what to do. Vote for the back stabbers? Or vote for the front stabbers? (Or a third option which will equal the same thing as the second.)
It's like "How much poison do you want? One and a half teaspoons or two?

So should I vote for Skelos?

If the GOP loses the Senate the Safe Act will look like a kiss on the lips.

Vote for Skelos and tell him "thank you sir, may I have another?" Seriously, as much as I hate seeing the Senate flip, I am even more po'ed at what the GOP pulled with the SAFE act. If the Republican's are going to act like Democrat's, I might as well elect genuine Democrat's and get it over with. |
