Poll: Lazio, Paladino race 'too close to call'
Buffalo News ^ | 9/12/10 | Bufalo News

Raleigh, N.C. – It looks like there’s a real possibility of a major upset in the New York Senate primary on Tuesday night, with insurgent conservative Carl Paladino leading longtime establishmen GOP pick Rick Lazio 47-44. That 3 point lead is well within the poll’s margin of error. If Lazio is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore.

The Republican primary contest for governor between Rick A. Lazio and Carl P. Paladino is now deadlocked and "too close to call," according to a Siena College poll released today.

The new survey shows Lazio with 43 percent of the vote and Paladino with 42 percent -- a virtual dead heat. Steven Greenberg, spokesman for the Siena Polling Institute, agreed with other political observers by predicting that Tuesday's primary election will be decided by whatever side can get out their vote.

That's the second time I read that same sentence in the last ten minutes. Here and the O Donnell story. Talking points, anyone?

The Siena Poll tends to lean a bit liberal, so this is certainly good news.

Moderates who are sure losers, like Lazio, are not welcomed.

Check the ODonnell story three posts before this one. PPP prints the exact same sentence as the Buffalo News?

1st, we do not have a “stranglehold” on anything, except maybe common sense.
2nd, none of these RINOs are anywhere near “moderate.”

I stopped reading right there.

Raleigh, N.C. – It looks like there’s a real possibility of a major upset in the Delaware Senate primary on Tuesday night, with insurgent conservative Christine O’Donnell leading longtime Congressman and Governor Mike Castle 47-44. That 3 point lead is well within the poll’s margin of error. If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore.

This is a lie. Moderates are welcome to vote for Conservatives every election.

They just can't run.

The new survey shows Lazio with 43 percent of the vote and Paladino with 42 percent

Why is there a poll of New York voters that is from Raleigh North Carolina? And why does the text printed here match the text from the poll in Delaware, and is completely absent from the linked article?

I know a little about news reporting, but this has me stumped. Perhaps this reporter also works for PPP and wrote both stories using one as a "template" for the other. The only other possibility I can see is a case of plagarism.

I don’t ever remember the press ever worring over the moderate democrats being pushed out of the party by the hard core leftists.

Moderates who are sOre losers aren’t welcome.

Conservatives “bashing” liberals: So-and-so is holds these liberal positions...

Liberals “bashing” conservatives: So-and-so is a dangerous extremist!!!!!

Big tent my ass. The fewer lefties in the Republican Party, the fewer people we have to attack our own front lines.

More than talking points - media collusion. Probably comes from AP(Associated Propagandists). There is no non-biased, objective media any more.
