Oswego, NY – Republican Conservative candidate for Governor John Faso faces a daunting task of defeating a Democratic opponent who holds a nearly 80-percent lead in the polls and a strangle-hold on campaign funds.
But Faso is preparing a fall campaign that will attempt to peg Eliot Spitzer as an Albany insider who's part of the blame for problems in New York's system of government.
WRVO's Chris Ulanowski spoke to the candidate.
