LOL Antoine has less pull than the guys that pick up the trash in Albany. He is a seat filler that takes his orders from His Lordship, The First Mayor Deluxe Steve Casey. Antoine, heavy lifting?

If I recall, it was Antoine who called Stach "Mr. Chairman" on election night..... BUT, Antoine is relatively new to the Albany scene. Both of them need to grow a set of nuts if they want to be relevant.

By the way,NOTICE THAT THEY ARE MEETING NYC, NOT ALBANY. Kind of tells the story. putting aside the upstate/downstate thing for a moment; what about seniority and the fact that Stach has earned this position? We in Buffalo have no power or influence with the other non-NYC dems, but what about our own? Thompson will go along with Stach getting screwed as long as he is still able to play big shot: flying around the state and country on own dime. He's a guy that sees himself as the Chuck Schumer of the NYS Seante. Time for him to do the right thing, not the Antoine thing, and stand up for stach and Buffalo. He should be a hold-hold out vote in order to force finance for Stach. If they sitck together they can make it happen.

Aubertine is on his 1st term and his seat was Republican for the 3 previous Senators. He is in upstate, which pretty much is all Republican outside of the 58th and 60th. These two flipping sides could move the power back to Upstate and send a big FUCK YOU to downstate Democrats. What about Stachowski flipping to the Republicans with Aubertine in the 48th?
