Carl Paladino is one of those well to do political gadflies who flits in and out of political consciousness promising challenges that may or may not happen. It's like Tom Golisano, the less erratic but even more wealthy Western New Yorker and his dalliances with reforming Albany.
Paladino showed up at a Conservative Party function this weekend and pledged primary challenges to key GOP Senators. Paladino thinks the GOP under leader Dean Skelos has been too accommodating to Democrats...
Well, don't they have to be ? In order to get favorably drawn districts and a 63rd Senator, you have to give up a pound or two of flesh. One only hopes the compromising achieves a modicum of balance against a Democratic Senate Minority so insulated from defeat they can pursue any policy they want.
Mr. Paladino's high mark in politics was the night he beat Rick Lazio for the nomination. His erratic behavior has been a disappointment and let down to conservatives.

His energy would be better spent helping to weed out the worst of the democrats. I suspect most democrats do not agree with most of what the party does. Look at gay marriage which took priority over a balanced budget. Truth is that half the democrats are not in favor. So if they could get rid of some of the real kooks like AJR and replace them with RINOs then it is the best we can hope for.
Mr. Palidino is correct in his statement about the GOP being too accomodating to the Dems. The GOP lawmakers of this state are afraid to take a dump without asking the Dems if it's okay! If beating a putz like R. Lazio is the high point of your career, that ain't much to brag about. You are right about one thing, Jeff. Palidino's erratic behavior does destroy any chance of his being taken seriously. Even though many of his statements are correct. Entertaining certainly, but it destroys his credibility. Ron Stafford was the last upstate Republican who still had a backbone. The upstate GOP today are little more than jellfish to be molded into whatever shape Taminey Hall wishes.
What ever!!people could say the same about your erratic behavior.Someone who got a great education here yet loves to come down on it every day.I agree with you on the superintendents thats as far as I will go.Look back think about what it did for you is it worth all the negative comments you make about it every day.
