ALBANY – So much for that close governor’s race in the Empire State.
A Quinnipiac University poll released this morning found Democrat Andrew Cuomo with a comfortable 18-point lead over his Republican rival Carl Paladino in the battle to become New York’s chief executive.
That’s a far cry from a similar poll Sept. 22 that found Cuomo leading by a mere six points, sending shockwaves through the Cuomo campaign and the New York political world.
This latest survey showed Cuomo leading 55 to 37 percent among likely voters, a result hewing more closely to the findings of rival polling outfits. The last Quinnipiac poll found Cuomo leading 49 to 43 percent, causing Cuomo to adjust his campaign and go on the attack against his Tea Party-backed foe....................>>>>...................>>>>.................http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/knickerbocker/poll_reversal_cuomo_lead_triples_YoDtno7GBNHulUZkU6cVSL
Cuomo, Paladino, other candidates to debate Oct. 18 October 08, 2010 5:17 AM Associated Press
ALBANY -- Candidates in New York's contentious race for governor say they have agreed to the campaign's first televised debate on Oct. 18.
Democrat Andrew Cuomo, Republican Carl Paladino and all of the minor party candidates are now scheduled to debate at Hofstra University.
The cable TV event will be broadcast by News 12 TV networks on Long Island, New York City and Westchester and by YNN and NY1 throughout the rest of the state. It will streamed live http://www.news12.com and http://www.newsday.com.
Taking bets on how many minutes into the debate that Paladino has another public meltdown and makes an arse of himself.
“And yet our opponents tell us not to interfere with abortion. They tell us not to impose our morality on those who wish to allow or participate in the taking of the life of infants before birth. Yet no one calls it imposing morality to prohibit the taking of life after a child is born. We’re told about a woman’s right to control her own body. But doesn’t the unborn child have a higher right, and that is to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” – Ronald Reagan
If Andrew debates as well as his Dad .... he will win in a landslide. Mario Cuomo was one of the best Governors in our state's history.
Paladino will be mad -- crazy mad -- still taking bets as to how many minutes into the debate before he makes an arse of himself.

Re the headline on your Oct. 3 editorial, “Paladino, oh, so angry”: In recent weeks, despite his rough edges, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino has brought to mind a number of epic fi gures. I have seen him as [poet] Sir Walter Scott’s “Lochinvar,” riding out of the west on a mission. I have seen him as the wild man, Enkidu, whom the gods sent to battle the oppressive and corrupt King Gilgamesh of Uruk and who, in the course of that battle, became a civilized man and made Gilgamesh a good king. And I have heard in his speech [author] Walt Whitman’s “barbaric yawp,” the true voice of the American people. In 1956, [poet] Allen Ginsberg wrote his classic poem “Howl,” that opens with these lines: “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fi x ...” Ginsberg wrote during an era of growing prosperity and numb, grayflannel conformity. He believed that the promise of American life was the opportunity to strive for something grander. It made him angry to feel oppressed and suffocated. Out of it, he wrote a great poem. Today, angry people have created the tea party. The “angry fix?” I don’t know exactly what Ginsberg meant by that, but when we look at everything in Albany that is broken or, to use the preferred current word, “dysfunctional,” an angry fi x — I don’t mean a narcotic — sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Who better than the “Angry Man from Buffalo” to effect it?
the hand that's been 'feeding us' is ready to get bit right the hell off....dont fear it......WE ARE PIONEERING AMERICANS........we survive, we recreate we do, we build.......we cannot just sit back and demand expectations.......WE ARE THOSE EXPECTATIONS
AND......NO ONE F'EN OWNS US............................................
Tea Party Political Militia
are you ready for the boat rocking?????
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Today's thought about Mr. Paladino's campaign for Governor In your guts you know he is nuts.

Andrew the Krat is Mario's brat. -Vote Paladino For Governor-
A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier. ~ H.L. Mencken Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. ~ H. L. Mencken The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. ~H.

`Impossible' Paladino Cuts May Be Inevitable to Close New York's Deficit By Michael Quint - Oct 14, 2010
One of Carl Paladino’s prescriptions for New York’s chronic budget deficits, spending cuts of at least $7 billion in his first year as governor, may be imposed whether or not the underdog Republican candidate wins in November.
The nation’s third most-populous state faces a projected $8.2 billion gap next year, only three months after legislators closed a $9.2 billion deficit for the current fiscal year. Paladino’s Democratic opponent, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, also says reduced spending is needed.
Paladino, 64, a Buffalo property developer and Tea Party supporter, says he’ll veto spending increases and force lawmakers to choose between reduced outlays or New York’s first- ever government shutdown. Cuomo, 52, who opened his campaign by calling for a cap on expenditures and freezing taxes, says he’s building a coalition to “get the state’s fiscal house in order.” He hasn’t said how much he would lower spending.
“We’re going to cut taxes every year during my administration,” Paladino said in an interview on CNBC today. “We’re going to cut spending every year during my administration.”
Whoever wins the contest “is going to have to make cuts of the magnitude Paladino describes, or raise taxes,” said E.J. McMahon, director of the Albany-based Empire Center for New York State Policy, which advocates less government spending. .................................>>>>........................................>>>>.............................http://www.bloomberg.com/news/.....-york-s-deficit.html
First place to cut --- all the "LULUs" that state legislators get paid, the taxpayer financed trips to Disneyworld, and the election year mailings paid fro by taxpayers.
