If one of the candidates gets the district leaders on board and has majority support of the current county committee members it is possible that none of the vacancies will be filled and 30 people could decide it.
Barry Klein, while a nice guy who serves Jonathan Bing well, does not have grass roots support in Jonathan's district let alone the neighboring district.
The political leadership of the district in the form of the East Side Democratic Club and the Lenox Hill Democratic Club has never been controlled by Grannis so he hardly has the power to install Morenzi.
The idea of a Republican taking the district is almost laughable. If they could not do it in the 73rd in 2002 or in the council districts that overlap this district in 2005 they are hardly going to be able to do it against a Democratic nominee supported by Spitzer, Silver et. al. in a district which is more Democratic then the aforementioned district.
