Vito Still a Party Fave: GOP Still Behind Him

Source: NY Post

May 19, 2008 -- Leaders of the Staten Island Republican Party are rallying around scandal-scarred Rep. Vito Fossella - enthusiastically backing his re-election, despite embarrassing disclosures about the married incumbent's DWI arrest and secret love child.

Two of the top officers of the Richmond County GOP told The Post they stand behind Fossella - who has campaigned on family values - and predicted he will be overwhelmingly nominated for re-election if he decides to run.

The local party will conduct interviews Wednesday for candidates running for the House of Representatives seat this fall, and GOP officials presume Fossella will be their candidate.

"To my knowledge, Vito is running, and I am there for him," said party secretary Bonnie Bibula.

Do you sometimes wonder if this election cycle is becoming too easy?
