From Elizabeth Benjamin's scoop interview with Tom Golisano in today's Times Union:

The front-runners for his endorsement, he said, are former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican who joined Golisano for a Sabres game Wednesday night, and Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi, a Democrat who is slated to attend a Sabres game Sunday with Golisano. The current front-runner, Democratic Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, wasn't on his list, nor were Republicans John Faso and Randy Daniels.

The political ribbon in New York is being pulled in two directions this year: The Eliot Spitzer-Democratic machine pulling in one direction, and everybody else pulling in another. Even if Golisano backs Weld, his active involvement (and spending) in this year's election could serve to activate centrist Democrats - which would be a big plus for Suozzi in his primary campaign against Spitzer.
