Oh, choices. The Village Voice on the Bronx Gonzales-Espada primary:

When last in the senate, Espada picked up his chair and went and sat with the Republicans. His reward from then–GOP majority leader Joe Bruno was some $745,000 in member-item grants he was allowed to dole out to recipients of his choice. (Espada found the perfect home for the money: his own Soundview health-care centers. He was later forced to withdraw the gifts after the Times reported them.)

The Daily Politics on the SD-21 primary in Brooklyn:

[State Senator Kevin] Parker insisted he's not concerned. He accused [primary opponent Simcha] Felder of being a Republican plant.

"Simcha Felder has no interest in being in the state Senate," Parker said. "There was no way he decided to do this all by himself."

Before casting their votes on Tuesday, voters should inquire as to whether the "Democrat" on the ballot will work to pass a Democratic agenda if elected. or sell himself out to Dean Skelos. With Espada, Felder and Kendall Stewart, there's reason to doubt whether they'll vote with their professed party, or prolong the Albany stalemate between a republican Senate and a Democratic Assembly by switching sides.
