New York gubernatorial election, 2006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The open-seat nature of the election, along with Spitzer's positive poll numbers, and the advantage Democrats have in New York State has fueled discussion of the Republican leadership's active pursuit of candidates to run against Spitzer. |
 | | By June 2006, two people announced their intent to run for the nomination: former New York Assemblyman John Faso, who was officially endorsed at the 2006 New York State Republican Party Convention and former Masschusetts Governor William Weld, who is a native New Yorker. |
 | | In New York gubernatorial elections, the most important factor in the gubernatorial candidate's choice of a lieutenant governor is the need to "balance the ticket" — that is, to widen the candidate's appeal, whether by reaching out to someone from a different geographic area, ethnic background, or has a different political base. |
