Former Bay State Gov. Bill Weld’s bid to become New York governor could be cut short as early as today if he heeds the call from Empire State Republicans to drop out of the race in the name of party unity.

New York GOP chairman Stephen Minarik yesterday called on Weld to step aside to avoid a “divisive” Republican primary with conservative lobbyist John Faso. Minarik said a battle between Weld and Faso would be a “costly exercise” that would drain both candidates’ accounts and put either at a disadvantage against Democratic former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.

“By ending his candidacy and supporting John Faso, Bill Weld will go a long way toward unifying our party, and helping us reach our shared goal of defeating Eliot Spitzer,” Minarik said in a statement.

Weld spokesman Rob Gray said the former Massachusetts governor would likely make a decision today.
