7 NY State Senate Incumbant Democrats lost their primaries

6 of the 7 losers were IDC members
6 of 8 Real Democrats beat the Republican aligned IDC members
1 Democrat aligned with the republicans sadly won the nomination this time
Of the races we wanted to win, we won 6 of 9.
11% of NY state senators lost reelection tonight IN THE PRIMARY! (though Valesky might try to hang on via third party)

Tonight was a major success for NY Democrats.

I didn't talk about Salazar because she didn't run against an IDC member and her election is more controversial.

My guess is they will be less of assholes now, or simply go republican entirely and out themselves completely.
