Welcome a primary:

Well unless someone decides to bailout, it appears Republicans will be facing a primary for both Governor and Senator. In my opinion this is the best thing that could happen to the party’s chances of winning come November.

Thanks to Democrats unanimously supporting Hillary and Spitzer there is no further story for people to follow for a few months. A Republican primary however will give our candidates free time with New Yorkers as they will get to layout their plans while Democrats will have nothing to do but watch from the sidelines. The extra press and face time is nothing but a positive come November.

Finally it will keep Republicans and each candidate’s troops energized as they fight a primary battle. By the time the real thing rolls around the winner will have a tremendous amount of momentum at its back and in full stride while the Democrats will just be putting on their running shoes.
