NYGOP Chairman: No Primaries for NY in 2006.

I agree with Andrew, it's about killing the candidacy of Bill Weld.  They hold a hateful grudge against him because he isn't a prominent New York Republican.  It really doesn't make any difference as to the outcome of the Gubernatorial election, but it just is another example of the NYGOP digging their own grave.

The only guy that can save them from 20 years of ineptitude in the future is Rudy Giuliani.

I'd love a Weld vs. Spitzer race, both candidates would be great. It would make up for CT not having a competitive race next year.

Actually Weld v. Spitzer wouldn't be close at all.  Polls show Spitzer winning by about 45% now (although alot of that's due to no name recognition for Weld).  Nevertheless I wouldn't think Weld could get within 20% by Nov. 2006.
