Meanwhile, the Queens Republican Party appeared ready last night to tap businessman Bob Turner to run in the Sept. 13 special election, sources told The Post. Turner, who got 40 percent of the vote when he ran against Weiner last year, has support from Brooklyn Republicans and the Conservative Party.
I know Andy Sullivan the 9/11 Hardhat was considering running but I guess the Queens GOP made a safe choice in Turner since he does have name recognition and got 40% against Weiner.

I admire their effort and courage in running what is likely a sacrificial lamb-race. This is NY after all. The ‘Pubs have lost, what, three special elections in a row there? NY is just one of those states, like many in the Northeast, that will knee-jerk vote ‘Rat, unless they really hit rock bottom (which may happen in the near future).
