Home stretch in the Seventh

Nassau voters go to the polls on Tuesday; and as Newsday [1] aptly puts it, "[i]f you live in the 7th State Senate District and have a regular history of voting, there is a near 100 percent chance that someone will knock on your door Tuesday and kindly suggest you go to the polls".

The New York Post [2], meanwhile, states the obvious:

Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno needs O'Connell to win to preserve his fragile lead in the Senate. If he doesn't, he will hold just a two-seat majority - and the contest is seen as a bellwether on the future of the GOP's control there.

"It'll be a door-to-door battle, there will be troops coming in from all over, because there's a lot at stake here," said Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf. "It's the battle of Eliot Spitzer's 'new politics' versus the state's 'old politics.' "

Craig and Eliot are out today, campaigning at Superbowl parties; Senator Clinton is coming out Monday; and on Tuesday, anyone who is anyone in New York will be hitting the pavement.

It's on, folks. To volunteer, call 516-294-3366, or click here [3]. The WFP (kicking ass, as per the usual) also needs volunteers, here [4].
