Democracy In Albany

Golisano is threatening, in vague and mysterious ways, the status quo.  This is bad.

And since I haven't yet hit the 25 word minimum, check out this choice statement:

With Republicans holding a very fragile 32-30 majority in the Senate, Golisano's gambit is not some cute academic exercise. He could easily help chase the Republicans into the minority.

Now, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a separate issue altogether, although certainly not to Tom Golisano.

What could possibly lead a political columnist to say "Look what could happen!  I'm not saying it's bad, but look what could happen!"  Shouldn't a political columnist actually, you know, have a point?
