BREAKING: Robach to speak for Bruno
The republican response to Governor Spitzer’s State of the State address will be given by GOP Sen. Joe Robach, according to Liz at Daily Politics. Bruno will not be giving the GOP response due to the recent passing of his long-time wife.
This could be a major boost for Robach, who is likely to face the most competitive campaign of his senate career. As Liz notes in her post, Robach may face off against former Democratic State Senator Rick Dollinger. Some other names that have been mentioned as possible Robach opponents are former Rochester City Councilman and Mayoral candidate Wade Norwood, Brighton Supervisor Sandy Frankel, and Robach’s 2006 opponent Willa Powell.
Please, if I’ve overlooked any possible candidates, post them in the comments.
Stay tuned to RT for analysis of Spitzer’s State of the State and the republican response.
