Weld to Run for Governor in New York?

The New York Times has an interview with Bill Weld, former Republican governor of the Democratic stronghold of Massachusetts who is now considering a run for the New York governor's mansion. Weld is a very good politician and was a good governor. (I lived in Mass. in the 90's and voted for him in 1994.) He's the kind of the Republican that party needs to develop and push onto the national stage, though the right-wingers who have a stranglehold on the party machinery would never allow it. But with the growing tensions within the party, who knows.
