Chuck Shumer will never be a Senate leader. Harry Reid escaped by the skin of his teeth so Upchuck can stay number 2. In more ways then one.
Ted Danz did not have enough money to really mount a serious challenge. All resources properly went to Chris Gibson{R,C} who won by 10 points. Next time more money will come in against Tonko who supports Cap and Tax which will raise our utility bills $1,200 a year. The fact that Danz got over 40% is a miracle. Paul Tonko shows up at every festa to politic and glad hand without buying anything. He is famous for wanting everything comped. His money stays in his pocket. But he talks a great game about community and common good.
