The poll's keep a coming and they all show the same thing...Cuomo by 15 to 25 points and Carl Paladino's negatives continue to outstrip his positives....When I was talking with consultant Roger Stone on the Hotline today, he said Paladino could win but I wasn't convinced he believed it.....But as he pointed out, Mr. Cuomo is spending $3M a week on television and Mr. Paladino has yet to hit the airwaves.....When that happens the margin could dwindle and Mr. Cuomo may feel compelled to debate.
As it stands now, I still think Mr. Cuomo can just run out the clock...and the most galling thing for him will be he won't get the Spitzeresque margin he wanted.
However, I will continue to wait a while longer to stick a fork in anybody.

Actually, it's kind of amazing that a candidate as controversial as Paladino, running in a state as liberal as NY against a popular heavily funded opponent like Cuomo, is only 15 points behind. You have to figure in most years a generic Democrat is 15-20 points ahead of the generic Republican gubernatorial candidate. It just goes to show you the current political environment. If the GOP had nominated Levy, then this would be a real race, a race the GOP could win.
But if Levy had won, the GOP loses because he is just another pataxi.
Hey the polls were 38 percent against Lazio. This race will run right to the end. The best part of Carl is he will call Cuomo out and make him accountable.
Polls are like like T*****OLES, everbody has one, to swear by. I do not believe in them as they are only as accurate as the clowns asking the questions and the fools answering them. They tend to mis-lead, mis-guide, and mis-inform, the people and the voters, who hold the real answers.
Carl outpolls Andrew among Republicans and independents in the state, but PPP would have you believe that doesn't matter and that Democrats have such a huge majority they win by default.
If it happens that way, Carl sweeps upstate again. The combined GOP/Independent vote accounts for about 70% of the vote tally in most of the rural counties and probably 50% or more in the urban counties. And if Cuomo still wins... the secession calls shall resume, and hard.
TDS, that is something Carl out POLLS Cuomo even among Republicans amazes me. Forget the Indy's, not true or he'd win.
