<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19238/20120202/governor-says-three-primary-dates-quot-less-than-ideal-quot</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 2, 2012) Governor Cuomo says the possibility of three primary elections in New York this year is not in anyone’s best interest. A federal judge has already ruled that congressional primaries must be held June 26. While Assembly Democrats would like statewide primaries to also be held on that date, Senate Republicans prefer an August  primary.If no action is taken, the statewide primaries will automatically fall on September 11 this year. The presidential primary is in April. In Albany, Karen DeWitt reports.
