This morning, I just found it telling how the New York Times positioned its story on the political turmoil in Albany on the front page, right below the coverage of the political turmoil in Iran.
There are some comparisons to be drawn by looking at both stories. The turmoil in Iran is driven by a hard-line dictatorship, unwilling to relinquish power.
The trouble in Albany is the lack of a power center. The towering mountains of power like Rockefeller, Carey, Pataki and Bruno have eroded away so that even a small hill of power, built by two freshman state senators, could lead a coup to take over the Senate.
