A shockingly large victory for Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino as his "Mad as Hell" run for the governor's mansion crushed GOP designee Rick Lazio.......Paladino spoke to supporters in Buffalo and pledged a 'people's crusade' against the elite ruling class he says is headed up by Andrew Cuomo.
Lazio running mate Greg Edwards appears to have one the second spot on the ticket , meaning the GOP and Taxpayer Party lines have different pairings so their totals cannot be added unless a change is made in one party.
Rick Lazio is still on the ballot as the Conservative Party nominee....
The future of the Conservative Party is very much in doubt unless they get Lazio off the line through a judicial nomination and replace him with Paladino. That may happen this week. Edwards is the LG on the Conservative Line. It is not known if Paladino will participate in the saving of the Conservative line.
Former Congressman Joe DioGuardi won the GOP nod to run against Sen.Kirsten Gillibrand who one her own primary by a large margin.
Jay Townsend won the other GOP Senate primary for the right to oppose Senator Charles Schumer.

Shows you just where the GOP is in this state. In the toilet. Or, should we now call it the GOTP ?
Lazio is a loser plain and simple. The mainstream GOP must change.. Look at the 23rd.. GoP country club got them Doheny when its obvious that the majority of GOP believers want Hoffman whether or not they are Conservative, tea party or whatever. If Doheny is true to his word he wants whats best for GOP as he claims he will drop out because he cant be Owens nor Hoffman in a general election. Keep buying and spending Matt.
"...GoP country club got them Doheny when its obvious that the majority of GOP believers want Hoffman..." Then why did he lose the primary? And where are all these country clubs that are being talked about?
The lack of punditry the day after the disaster is puzzling. Wherefore art thou pros??
Evul, you're not making any sense. What disaster are you talking about? Lazio was never a choice of the Republican base. Never has been. Now people like you, single thought folks, have a problem. This Carl guy has an appeal that goes a lot deeper than party line stupidity. But then again you wouldn't understand that. Ask around. Someone will explain it to you.
hehe. should be a fun race, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if ol'Carl topples the presumptive. I'm not a big fan of Andy, and would vote for someone that lends a little soap and water and Right Guard to the literal unwashed.
Are you speaking of the regular, stinking people who pay all the bills so people of your ilk can continue to give away money and buy votes? I'm sure they appreciate you Donkeys giving them soap and water once in a while. How elitist can you get. Someday, the regular folks are going to kick your uppity asses.
