SD-48: Liveblogging Special Election Results

Our friends at RT kill me... (4.00 / 4)

My favorite quote: "Courtesy of The Albany Project, which appears to be staffed by a bunch of Biblical-era grasshoppers..."

I almost ruptured my spleen laughing so hard at that line.

We focused on this race for good reason: It will put us one seat closer to taking back the Senate.

I guess I should mention.... (4.00 / 2)

That I will be hosting my radio show tonight from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. covering the results as they come in. So if you want to tune in and follow Phillip's liveblog, you'll be doing yourself a huge favor :).

final tally (4.00 / 5)

...is zero to zero.  There's a big snowstorm on.  Nobody voted!  Muahahahahah.

Just kidding, of course.

But I am so freaking amused that every staffer in Albany is stuck up in the North Country in an icky blizzard!  Couldn't have happened to a nicer group of folks.

I'm hoping (4.00 / 3)

...to have a few staffers finally get the idea of what a spectacular wind energy resource this part of the state has... who knows, they might even come up with some environmentally-appropriate legislation out of the experience.

But that would require logical thought (4.00 / 2)

Remember, this is Albany we're talking about

I'm worried (0.00 / 0)

that the staffers will see how much wind energy there is there, decide that they don't like the area for punishing them with weather, and head back to Albany to support NYRI.

(Yes, comment contrasts to Robinia's.  What else is new?)

Well... (4.00 / 1)

...you do always make me think, though.  It is surely a possibility.  But, I think Roatti has it-- they will probably mostly remember their own personal experiences.

hey (0.00 / 0)

not bad, Aubertine does have more than half of Barclay's tally in Oswego.  Would be cool if that improved over the evening.
