Nobody likes to close any door too quickly but its interesting that Darrel Aubertine and Addie Russell are definitely sounding they would like to be given the chance to represent their party in the NY 21 race for Congress.
The 2009 candidate, Doug Hoffman, is keeping his options open as he digests the Bill Owens announcement not to run.
Two of the three announced GOP candidates don't sound like they have the traction to win the nomination, while the third hopeful, Elise Stefanik, today thanked Rep. Owens for his service and said Republicans have a good shot at the district.
There was no comment today from Diedre Scozzafava or Matt Doheny, who were both mentioned today. Former Doheny campaign manager Anthony Foti also says he is considering a run.
Observers say the late date of Mr. Owens announcement makes getting in a challenge and in particular leaves Democrats in a tough spot trying to defend the seat.
