The Senate Democratic Campaign Committee is up with ads today blasting Republicans for not agreeing to a power-sharing agreement that would end the leadership struggle in the Senate.
As for the leadership struggle, no deal appears on the horizon. The sides are expected to gavel in and out today at 3 p.m. Then their lawyers are in court at 4 p.m. to argue Gov. David Paterson’s lawsuit against the Senate, claiming that they are not following his order to establish a quorum in each session.
The DSCC is running ads in western New York against Sens. Michael Ranzenhofer and Joseph Robach, in central New York against Sen. John DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse, and downstate against Sens. Frank Padavan of Queens and Owen Johnson of Long Island.

Here’s the one the DSCC is running against Robach:
