Embattled Staten Island congressman Vito Fossella may be trying to make his way back onto the ballot this November, sources confirmed to The Post last night.
Pollsters reached out to Staten Islanders over the weekend looking for their opinions about Fossella, who chose not to seek re-election after being arrested for DWI and amid revelations that he fathered a child with a mistress. The polling was originally reported in the Staten Island Advance.
Making a run on the Republican ticket might be next to impossible because another pol, Robert Straniere, has already locked up the nomination. “I just don’t see it,” said one friend, noting Fossella’s DWI trial starts next month.
But privately, many Republicans believe Fossella is still their best bet.
