Hey, what did I miss on my huge, three-day vacation? Oh yay, New York "has descended into a bizarre, riveting spectacle of corruption and political debasement"! (Politico also notes that "At this point, only two of the six statewide elected officials, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, were actually elected to the positions they hold.") But also, oh noes, my three favorite running political stories have largely up and died.
