New York republicans discuss candidates for governor

New York’s Republican Party leaders were meeting behind closed doors today to sort out who should run for governor and whether Jeanine Pirro should abandon her struggling campaign to challenge Senator Hillary Clinton.

Two of the leading contenders for the party’s nomination for governor, former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld and former state Assembly Minority Leader John Faso, pressed for the Republican Party’s county chairmen to take a vote on who they support.
