"Pedro's going to win. I'm going to win. And we're going to come back stronger, faster and better," said Diaz, who remains the only elected official to have endorsed Espada.
This is footage of Pedro's victory party in 2008:
If the two jokers in the 32nd and 33rd districts get re-elected, it will send a message to every member of the legislature that they can get away with anything. Imagine the legislature starts its first session in 2011 and the rest of Albany looks around and sees Pedro and Ruben with another 2-year term under their belts. What would the rest of them think? They would think the reform movement is a paper tiger and that the voters just don't care enough to hold any of them accountable. Is that really how we want to the future of Albany to play out?
