(Credit where credit is due: politics64 did indeed nail this one. - promoted by phillip anderson)
I wrote about this race as soon as word broke about Wright vacating the seat. Note when reading this that no candidate declared at the time of my post, no campaigning began and no other posts were made regarding the prospects of this race. At the end I also posted some of the responses from TAP readers so we can see their varied levels of prophacy regarding our fortunes in tough races like these!
A case made that SD 48 can be flipped!
At first blush it would appear that the 48th State Senate District being vacated by James Wright (R-Watertown) is hopelessly Republican. The curent voter registration numbers are not pretty for a potential Democratic challenge to this Northern Tier district:
Republican Democratic Other
71569 41317 38120
But voter registration numbers alone do not tell the whole story. If it did NYC Republicans like Maltese and Padovan would not be within smelling distance of a state senate seat!
