Unless you think people who live in Buffalo are idiots, there must be something to the Paladino phenomenon. In "Carl Country" the candidate grabbed 93% of the vote in Erie County with heavy turnout....They know him best as he has been high profile for some time. But the more dainty and refined, Wall Street slobbering wing of Republicanism is scared and running away from the will of the people.
As we have found with the Delaware primary, there is the party establishment anxious to make sure their party gets credit for having a majority or holding a seat......Then there are people who could care less about that game and want someone who has the idealogical conviction to actually do something.
I will be anxious to see if Doheny, Ritchie, Blankenbush and Forsythe will embrace their party's nominee or whether they will have "scheduling conflicts" when the candidate comes to NNY.
Republican lawmakers were told yesterday to keep their Tea Party-friendly GOP gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino "at arm's length." - NYPOST.com

Maybe they should take Ike's view toward Joe McCarthy: "I'm not going to crawl in the sewer with that guy"
Problem is, 60 years down the road it turns out McCarhty wasn't as crazy as everyone thought he was, regardless of how over the top his antics were.
How "Crazy" would it be to back a candidate who wants to snap the NYS Legislature back to reality and stop the needless spending. I would think even Aubertine and Russell would support that!!!!
Dicker? I don't even know her.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Oh my God "McCarthy wasn't as crazy..."-this has turned into a wack job site.
Paladino is a nasty fascist- that's why moderate Republicans are running from him.
Annon 9:56 - I'm certain Paladino is also a puppy-hater, racist and doesn't like ice cream!!!!!!
Stop your left wing psycho-babble - please...
Have you read the string of Paladino's porno emails?
He should be up on charges - not running for Gov.
Yes, it is his right to read them, write them, forward them,
comment on them, and try to
defend them ...
As a private citizen, but not as a person who wants to be NYS Gov...
Warning: VERY GRAPHIC LINK IS HERE
He is not Govenor. He is a private citizen. Who cares what he does on his personal time. It's OK that you are afraid Carl might take down your boy Andrew. So take it easy and focus on some of the issues at hand, OK Dan Francis? All of the readers of this blog know you are far left. You're gonna say anything to try and make your candidate look better. Give it a rest.
Paladino allegedly sent this porn to a small circle of his associates. But Dan is sending it to everyone that reads this blog.
Paladino is not my ideal choice for governor but he is still going to get my vote, because he is the best option we have.
Maybe if Paladino followed Obama's lead and compared his bowling to the special Olympics it would be funny instead of offensive?
Maybe if he put a cigar in...well never mind.
Maybe if he offered his masseuse a big tip for a happy ending?
Nope...the inconvenient truth is, I am not going to reject a candidate because he can be raunchy...that would mean I could never vote for anyone. I am going to vote for the one that I think will pass the fewest laws and cut the spending and regulations.
But if it turns out that he sired and denied a love child while his wife was going through chemo, I might change my mind.
Dan, I am guessing that you believe Cuomo is a devout alter boy who has never had a Paladino moment...
Dannie is just being Dannie. He can't help himself. He was born with a government check in his pocket. He'll die with one too. Nothing scares him more than a man who questions Dan's momma government.
Why would people run away from Mr. Paladino? Because, he has the same likes, dislikes,good habits, bad habits, as each and everyone of us; the difference, Mr. Paladino has the guts, the courage, to speak his mind, and doesn't appear to back down. If he is offensive to anyone, sorry about that; that's only in the eyes of the beholder. I can't recall a candidate for office, who I can understand ,exactly what he is saying. I will vote for Mr. Paladino, and I hope he raises enough ire, to force the needed changes to this state gov't.,and give the people of this state hope for the future.And, yes I do have a "Paladino for Governor" sign, in my yard
Carl's email is less offensive than a mosque at Ground Zero
Rick,you are just showing right now that you like a guy like Ken Blankenbush.How do you think Carl got his riches Rick?State contracts for his slumlord buildings in buffalo.Your first paragraph Rick is how you should think of Ken right?Read your post and think about it.He will be just as crooked when he wins as he was when he was in the private sector just now he wont have bribe as much..
There is a difference here, I do not like BBush. I do not care how they got to where they are, but how they treat the people they do or would represent. Paladino speaks his mind,fought like hell to get where he now is,and speaks the language of the people; Bbush is like a weasel, sneaks around issues, and likes to surprise the people, and tried to get the 122nd for himself ,only. Paladino and Bbush, are no comparison, Paladino has a set, the other does not. By the way, who is your "honest" candidate? The real crooks, never get caught.
Carl has the whole country paying attention to him....
Mayor, Why don't you call the others to get their feelings. I think you might be surprised.My guess>
Doheney on the fence
Ritchie picked same line will go
Blankenbush not sure but thnk so
Forsythe probably right up his alley both mad as hell.
Be fun to watch at the very least.
