BUFFALLO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo political scientist James Campbell, a veteran political forecaster, says "The frustration of conservatives and the power of the Tea Party movement was demonstrated once again in the victory of Carl Paladino over the GOP's establishment-backed candidate Rick Lazio."

Darn tootin’
Paladino can do it if he runs his campaign right. He went up against the establishment candidate and he can say he will not be the status quo in Albany. He needs to follow in the footsteps of Christie in New Jersey.
Lazio ran a pretty pathetic campaign against the Hildebeast in 2000.
Carl can do it.
He should CALL Christie and sort of publicly talk about an ‘alliace’ of sorts agains unions and special interests
OMG the media’s heads would explode!!!!!
Donald Duck would have beaten Lazio by 85-15 and had a better chance of beating Cuomo than Palladino.
ALLIANCE
yer a dork
A white flag would be fine... they could just give up now...
“Lazio ran a pretty pathetic campaign against the Hildebeast in 2000.”
I can’t believe I donated to this putz in 2000. I should have bought silver instead and doubled my money.
Paladino WILL win NY.
Somebody make me a T-Shirt and Bumber-Sticker.
Talk about the straight talk Express.
Paladino is a great bomb thrower.
American’s want more Pols, especially Republicans, that don’t mince words or communicate in PC Bull Bleep.
It also makes for great TV.
Pass the popcorn. If nothing else this will be a great race to watch for pure entertainment.
I tell you what should scare them: Gillibrand got well south of 50% of the combined primaries’ votes. Not that her Democratic challenger ran to the right, but it still signifies the anti-incumbency mood.
"..In the August 5, 2008 issue of The Village Voice, Wayne Barrett argued that Andrew Cuomo made a series of decisions as Secretary of HUD between 1997 and 2001 that helped give birth to the country's current credit crisis:
"He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why."[23]..."
Wake up on the wrong side of bed today? Or are you just naturally given to insulting people? You want to take issue with my ideas? Fine. But if the best you can do is a petty not particularly clever insult than ... Nah I’m not going to insult you. It was the best you could do.At least you know your limitations.
Me too, but my donation was against Hillary. Actually, I liked the guy in 2000.
Lazio is simply NOT impressive, in any way.
Can you hear us now?
