They say they'll let their Republican foes in before a special session ordered by Gov. David Paterson, but it wasn't clear Republicans would enter.
Paterson called the session to break a two-week legislative stalemate and get the Senate moving on major issues facing the state.
A Republican-led faction and the Democratic conference failed in talks earlier Tuesday to work out a possible power-sharing arrangement. The Democrats are expected to unlock the doors shortly before the afternoon session.
The factions are split 31-31 and disagree about who is the duly elected acting president and controlling the session.

A bunch of babies in the sandbox. If they cannot be mature enough to settle their differences, how can they lead?

And they get paid to act like a bunch of kids. Send them out to the sandbox and get some mature adults in there.

Oh yeah? Wait until someone tries to take over their yeshivah and see how they react.
