Another war of sorts is kinduh "declared" on the ersatz leadership coalition running the New York State Senate --- but, just remember this (>>> BTW, don't even think about "As Time Goes By" !!! <<<) just because it's ersatz and it looks weak, don't think that the GOP-Conservative-IDC NYS Senate coalition won't continue to survive and prosper as Andy Cuomo's rubber stamp in the Albany.....
According to Julianne
Cuba, in her Boro politics column, "Party Line,"
for the Courier Life's "Brooklyn Daily": ".... Four high-ranking party members penned a
letter to the state Senate Minority Leader Andrea
Stewart-Cousins (D–Westchester) and the breakaway leader Jeff
Klein (D–Bronx) on Nov. 27 pressing
them to forge an alliance — and threatening Klein’s faction with primary
challengers and Stewart-Cousins with a leadership shake-up if they don’t come
to terms...." (See "Deutsch to scuttle own firm by year’s
end" by Julianne Cuba, 11/30/17,

It remains to be seen whether this will make any difference ---
this time around, because
--- Cue Harry James & Helen O'Connell ---
"(Da-dump dah dum, dadumpdahdum... Da-dump dah dum, dadumpdahdum)
It seems to me I've heard that song before--- Cue Harry James & Helen O'Connell ---
"(Da-dump dah dum, dadumpdahdum... Da-dump dah dum, dadumpdahdum)
It's from an old familiar scoreI know it well, that melodyIt's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dreamA dream that brought you so close to meI know each word because I've heard that song beforeThe lyrics said "Forever more"Forever more's a memoryPlease have them play it againAnd I'll remember just when
I heard that lovely song before...." HJ & HO'C by Styne & Cahn
(BTW, not a show tune)
Nonetheless, in the same column as cited above, Ms. Cuba did go on to quote Simcha Felder (yes, the very same Kings County Conservative Party and NYS GOP Senate Caucus favorite), who seems to have indicated that he would switch his caucus vote to the Dems if an effort to unite NYS Senate Democratic members were to be successful.
ALL THIS FOR A MAJORITY OF NYS SENATE DEMOCRATS TO HAVE A CHANCE TO DO ANDY CUOMO'S BIDDING --- JUST LIKE THE GOP-CONSERVATIVE-IDC COALITION !!!!!
