Democrats throughout New York should be elated that Faso was endorsed as the Republican Gubenatorial candidate. Let's just hope he wins the primary.Why is this good news?
Well, if it's not obvious, Faso is a George Bush Republican. He's anti-choice, anti-gay and, I can assure you, he will join forces with the extremists in his party seeking to haul Mexican illegals out of the country and kick them back to Mexico. And that's just the start.
There is a treasure trove of things Spitzer can exploit.
Weld, on the other hand, may have baggage from his days running that southern technical college, but he has undeniable experience running successful campaigns and ability to appeal to a segment of the Democratic constituency. His patrician airs are annoying, but less of a negative than Faso's boring demeanor.
Today the Republican base signed on with the Conservative party and made its choice. Republicans delude themselves into believing they can energize their base and win in New York when their party registration is outnumbered 2 to 1.

Faso is the best thing to happen to the Republicans in a long time. His record of cutting taxes stands in stark contrast to Eliot Spitzer's inability to tell voters how he'll pay for all the things he's promising. We're going to see New Yorker's go to the polls as taxpayers, not friends of Eliot, and for that, Faso's just the man to have on the ballot.
You are nuts if you think Faso can win just by saying he is going to cut taxes.
Faso will be framed with all his Assembly votes as the candidate who is going to cut well-needed services so he can give tax cuts to the rich.
Faso is a gift. He has so many negatives from being anti-choice to anti-immigrant - the list is endless.
Keep dreaming!
Glad to see you started this Greg.
All the best from DMIblog.
