| Description | The race for Governor will be at least a five-way contest in November, based upon this weekend's NY Libertarian Party convention. The NYLP nominated former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld (R) for Governor, guaranteeing him the party's ballot line in the general election. Weld faced opposition from 2004 US Senate nominee Don Silberger, but was able to secure the required two-thirds for the endorsement on the third ballot. Weld promised he will not withdraw as the NYLP nominee even if he loses the GOP primary. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer appears certain to win the Democratic and Working Families ballot lines, former State Assembly Minority Leader John Faso is a safe bet to win the Conservative Party line, bestselling author Malachy McCourt will likely be the Green Party nominee, and minister Jennifer Liese is the Right-to-Life Party candidate. Faso and Weld are also fighting it out for the GOP nomination. The NYLP also nominated retiree John Russell for US Senator, and two other statewide candidates. |
