You Won't Have Bill Weld to Kick Around Anymore

|

The New York Times' Pat Healy is reporting that formjer Massachusetts Gov. William Weld will leave the New York governor's race at a press conference about an hour from now. Weld, famously pro-choice and libertarian, will endorse the dour pro-life former Assembly Leader John Faso. Both candidates trailed Democratic nominee Eliot Spitzer by huge margins - 51 points over Weld, 47 points over Faso - but Weld alone was endorsed by the New York Libertarian party. Neither Weld nor the NYLP answered their phones when I called to ask if Weld will carry the Libertarian banner into the Fall.
