A lawyer and a CPA with no ties to Albany. It would be nice to have an Attorney General who wasn't waiting to run for Governor. Maybe Bob can sue the Fed for Healthcare. He's at least a "watch" for Tea Party Candidate.
Onondaga County Comptroller Bob Antonacci, who had been exploring a run for comptroller, is now being drafted to run for attorney general.
Jay Dutcher, chairman of the Ontario County Republican Party, made the case for Antonacci in an e-mail to State Chairman Ed Cox and other regional vice chairmen of the party. There are no Republicans formally seeking the party’s nod, but Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan is close to announcing he will run.
“Some of the chairs I’ve talked to thought it was a great idea,” said John DeSpirito, chairman of the Onondaga County Republican Committee. “They think he has all the credentials to do the job, and with a team of Steve Levy and Harry Wilson and himself, it would be a great team for our party and the state of New York.”
I asked DeSpirito about Donovan.
“I don’t even know if this man exists,” he said. “He’s never contacted me, I’ve never met him, he’s never faxed or e-amiled. I don’t even know if the man exists. We have to move forward, and I would like to see Bob step up and do this for us.”
DeSpirito said Antonacci will be at the regional candidate screening meeting at the Rusty Rail Restaurant in Canestota, Madison County, tomorrow morning.
