Added to the two from mine. Apparently Paladino said he will expose Cuomo's skeletons so get the popcorn ready.
Mayor you must be positively beaming as you watch the returns from Paladino's headquarters.
I heard that on the radio today. I, personally, can't wait. Even if he ends up losing, he's going to make the campaign a lot more interesting and lively than Lazio ever would have.
New York TV has called it for Paladino, Yeah!
Two more Paladino voters celebrating here in the Finger Lakes. Whoever designed his campaign signs was brilliant—angry red and black signs with “I’m mad too, Carl” printed across the top. His radio & TV ads were great, too.
I’m glad Paladino will be coming out on offense against Cuomo, as nasty an Atty. Gen. as Spitzer was. It’s time someone laid out the case against the perfumed prince.
Agreed. Very happy tonight with my fellow NY Republicans (for a pleasant change). It’s interesting too, because candidates from that part of the state don’t normally win.
Two months ago, I didn’t even know the guy was running, but I did my research in August and after 5 minutes on his website, I decided to vote for him. Hell, last week, I wasn’t even sure he’d win, but my jaw is dropping. He’s not only won, but won in a landslide. What a great night. Perhaps there’s a small sliver of hope for this state after all.
Even in defeat if that’s what happens, I truly feel like he’s going to give Cuomo a run for his money and make this thing way closer.
