Uh, so why did he flip in the first place?
The New York Post reports that Pedro Espada has decided to return to the democratic fold in the state senate.
Espada, whose defection to the Republicans was the main reason for Gov. Paterson’s controversial action yesterday “naming” Richard Ravitch as lieutenant governor, revealed his startling plans to The Post.
The defection would bring a quick end to the Senate’s current 31-31 vote stalemate, in which Espada has repeatedly joined with the 30 Republican members in opposition to the Democrats. [...]
Several Democratic senators have repeatedly insisted they would not accept Espada’s return to their Conference because of a series of allegations of improper or illegal activities that his political opponents have leveled against him.
Espada has been described as an unpredictable ally by Republicans and Democrats and some of his statements in recent weeks, including his claim that as many as 20 Democrats were set to defect to the GOP, turned out to be false.
Wow, here in New York we have our own version of Arlen Specter. Lucky us!
State legislatures: Can’t keep your freedoms with them can’t pass the budget without them.
