8. That's a damn good question, LOL.

But the district (NY District 20) is gerrymandered to avoid Albany which is strongly Democratic. We just had a "special election" to replace Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, who beat Sweeney in 2006 and was reelected by a landslide in November. She was appointed Senator from NY to replace Hillary Clinton, so her seat is now vacant. :-)

I worked on the campaign for Scott Murphy, the Democratic candidate from my hometown. His Republican opponent was Jim Tedisco, who doesn't even live in the district. We're waiting for the absentee ballots to be counted, since it's currently a "dead heat." *fingers crossed* :-(


The infamous photo... ;)


on edit: Yikes! There are a whole lot more frat party pix! The previous one is the one that made the news, and my SO alerted the Gillibrand campaign about the story, e-mailed them the pic... :D
