The Everything's Just Fine Tour
So we checked in with the KT McFarland's campaign, which is busy crossing the state for "KT Kitchen Talks," to see how they are feeling a day after Stephen Minarik implored the candidate to drop out of the race.
On the topic of forcing a primary against John Spencer, press secretary Morgan Ortagus-Dobbs said McFarland "clearly had the momentum at the convention" and that "she did it with the party leaders working against her." She added that McFarland was not "scared or intimidated" by the prospect of a primary contest.
"I'm from Florida and we have huge primary contests there," said Ortagus. " I don't know why it would be any different for New York."
New York's singularity seemed to be made achingly apparent to Bill Weld. We'll see how long McFarland can withstand the party's pressure.

She and Rollins did a great job with the Harris campaign in Florida! Isn't she still living in KT's apartment?
You'd think John Spencer's staff would have better things to do than leave anonymous comments here-- but you'd be wrong.
Kitchen Talks... I like it.
Is Spencer sober?
Has he fallen off the wagon?
If Spencer can't take the heat, perhaps he should get out of the kitchen.
Spencer is a loose cannon.
is KT still seeing those black helicopters?
Is KT related to ET?
Just checking.
They both seem alien to me. out of space and spaced out too.

Party pressure to witrhdraw?
The biggest, dumbest mistakes that Pataki and the State GOP have made in recent years were:
* Pataki convincing Lazio to drop out of the 2000 Senate race in favor of Rudy, forcing Rick to scramble to put the campaign back together after Rudy dropped out.
* Pataki convincing Ed Cox to drop out in favor of Pirro this time around.
I may not vote for her, but KT should go for it.
That "pressure" at the convention was nearly two-thirds of the party supporting John Spencer.
Since the State GOP Convention, more support for KT has over to Spencer and it is growing.
As a team player, KT should depart this race.
