Scott Sala writes that John Faso seems to have locked up the Conservative nomination for governor, but a commenter says not so fast:

Faso has a key test coming soon with Upstate Conservatives. If he survives their scrutiny, he at least has the Conservative Party line in November and should relish this powerful third party candidacy. If he chooses to be more aggressive, he has a chance to be another Jim Buckley or Herb London.

Buckley won the 1970 U.S. Senate race largely because his opponents in that race, a Democrat and a liberal Republican, split the vote on that side of the political spectrum. In a Weld-Faso-Spitzer/Suozzi three-way race, that's certainly possible - although Faso would likely enjoy much less financial backing (relatively speaking) than Buckley did.

And, as the commenter points out, Faso still has to win the Conservative line.
