I think Suozzi has done an amazing job with Nassau County, he would likely be my first choice if he decided to run again for Gov.

(The Associated Press - NEW YORK) Former State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno said he now supports legalizing same-sex marriage, a change of heart that could influence Albany lawmakers.

The 80-year-old, who retired last year as the state's most powerful Republican, said he now sees the issue as a civil right.

"As a Republican, I believe in personal freedom," Bruno said in a written statement. He said support of the measure by Democratic Gov. David A. Paterson, a friend and longtime collegial adversary in the Senate, helped him change his mind. Two years ago, Bruno blocked a version of the bill that the Democrat-led Assembly had passed.

"I opposed same sex marriage largely because the overwhelming majority of my caucus opposed it," Bruno stated. "However, that view really does conflict with the rights that are afforded all of us."

It's a prerequisite for all statewide New York officials to support it. He's probably running.

Suozzi, or Bruno? I assume you meant Suozzi; Bruno is retired.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Suozzi jumped into the gubernatorial race.

I wish more Republicans had the balls to come out and say this while still in office.  The ones who "stay in the closet" when it comes to gay rights simply because the majority of their caucus opposes them really need to start stepping forward in order to rescue their own party.
