No one knows who the GOP nominee may be.
I, who know only a few Island Republicans, certainly have no idea. It is, to my mind, a shame not to have Vito Fossella to kick around anymore come election day. He carried the Bush-Cheney baggage in addition to his own. Any GOP candidate will be lighter on his feet than Mr. Fossella could have been.
Will Steve Harrison be successful against some non-Fossella person? Absent careful polling, we're just guessing. However, he will run, I think, the same campaign against his opponent that he would have against Mr. Fossella. As between Mr. Recchia and Mr. Harrison, Harrison became my guy.
If others actually jump in? We'll probably all have to take a few minutes to think about it. Many months ago, Mr. Harrison told me that if Ms. Savino were running he'd have supported her. But now? This too is guessing.
