William Weld, New England carpetbagger
Posted by Dominic Basulto
It's like a player from the Red Sox being signed by the Yankees... Roger Clemens, anyone? Former Massachusetts governor William Weld has decided that he now wants to become governor of New York. The U.S. hasn't had a two-state governor since Sam Houston, but Weld is hoping that his platform of "tax cuts and social liberalism" will play on the New York political stage. The Republican camp - including Rudy Giuliani and Karl Rove - is desperately looking for someone who can take on Eliot Spitzer now that George Pataki has decided to run for president. So, these political strategists are receptive to the idea of Weld, a native New Yorker, running for office. Even if he is a New England carpetbagger.
