Not Particularly Healthy

And on the subject of Republican leadership...

Manhattan GOP Chair and medieval cartography expert James Ortenzio - an early Bill Weld supporter - wants to know why John Faso isn't getting more help from the county leaders who claim to be in his camp.

"They're the ones who said last September that a primary would vitiate our resources," he said, referring to the Faso supporters. "That presupposes that there are resources. Let's see them."

As evidence that Faso isn't getting a level of backing befitting a party nominee, Ortenzio said, "I don't think his filing was particularly healthy. I don't hear of too many events coming up in the future. I don't hear too many statements of support - and he has some major counties supporting him. So what are the Republicans doing for John Faso?"

Anyone?

The Manhattan GOP chair should worry more about his local candidates who barely got enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, in fact had they faced a challenge most would not have made it.

Faso really needs to be targeting his resources in Manhattan. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Chairman Ortenzio is just bummed because Faso isn't a big fan of Melville.

Maybe because faso is not a republican but a conservative ... Jerry Kassar and Mike Long's Boy

Faso is a lifelong Republican and a decent guy.

People who lash out at Long and Kassar are usually disgruntled Republican operatives who are ashamed that their own County and State Chairmen are so piss-poor at finding patronage appointments for them and fellow Republicans.

Faso might be a republican, but will not be independent if by some mircle he wins. He will be taking orders from Long and Kassar... A few years out of power might do the conservative well.... They might need to find real jobs.. oh- none of them a qualfied to work in the private sector...
