Are you sure you want to make it this easy?
Local Races May 30th. 2006, 12:43pmIt’s heartening to know that New York Republicans are doing what they can to make sure we end up with a Democrat in the governor’s mansion.
The Washington Post reports this morning that former state Assembly leader John Faso has locked down the Conservative Party nomination for governor, while his opponent in the primary, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld nailed the libertarian nomination last month.
Both are saying they’ll stay in the race as the third party candidate, regardless of who wins the Republican party primary … thus splitting the GOP vote and practically guaranteeing that Eliot Spitzer’s current huge lead in the polls translates into an even more gigantic win at the polls.
Maybe we should call both campaigns to say thank you?
