SYRACUSE, NY – Conservatives from around Upstate New York met in Syracuse Monday night to hear likely Presidential candidate Mitt Romney speak. But it was two men who did not speak who drew the real attention.

WRVO's Dave Bullard reports that Rick Lazio and Doug Hoffman have decisions to make, and their decisions could affect the fate of the Conservative Party in the state.
