Let's move into what’s happening in New York because this is not just a New York issue by a mile. At one point maybe a month or two ago, we were talking about how the redistricting that has taken place has actually left the Democrats in as bad a good situation as they have been in a few years. Because New York State and couple other places were redistricted in such a way that it off-set the advantage the Republicans had gotten for themselves, but because of the poor job that the New York Democratic Party did with the referendums that took place last year, there the NY system for resdtistrincg ended up being some sort of independent commission. The Democrats tried to redistrict and it got overturned by state court and also federal court decided not to intervene. That’s where we are.
