Bronx Sen. Pedro Espada's return to the Democratic conference gives Democrats a 32-30 majority for the first time since the June 8 coup. As part of the deal, Espada took the title of Senate majority leader. "It was never about power, but about empowerment," Espada said at a news conference. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT POWER... ESPADA SWITCHED SIDES TO BLACKMAIL DEMOCRATS TO GIVE HIM POWER... GOVT NEEDS MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO SWITCH PARTIES MID-TERM..OR AT THE MINIMUM THEY SHOULD HAVE TO GO TO SPECIAL ELECTION TO RETAIN POWER.
