Expert says Paladino victory should raise a red flag for NYS Democrats

Patricia Donovan

Release Date: September 15, 2010

“Me too, but my donation was against Hillary.”

LOL. Here’s what I posted at another thread.

“A Paladino win would send a clear message to every wishy-washy wimpy RINO repub across the nation. I donated to Lazio when he ran against Hillary because he was...well...not Hillary.”

Most of us are tired of having to choose between the lesser of two leftists.

He is going to need money for this. Cuomo has twenty five million.

His response to you wasn’t nice, but there weren’t really any ‘ideas’ in your comment. There were no points you made to agree or disagree with other than the obvious point that Lazio would have found a way to lose if he ran unopposed.

Paladino most certainly does have a chance against Cuomo. You’ve been down there in the city too long if you don’t think so.

Here’s the situation: The Dem corruption in the state houses is so blatantly in-your-face that it is laughable. The Dems are on their second corrupt governor in a row, both Dems. The Dems haven’t had a real fight in at least 15 years and they’re clueless how to handle a guy like Carl. The Dems are also in a power struggle amongst themselves that doesn’t help them at ALL.

The Dems are also looking weak in former Dem strongholds in the NYC suburbs, which is VERY bad for them. Upstate is jumping for joy over Paladino and will turn out in droves.

Cuomo is the de-facto incumbent and Paladino is the outsider who doesn’t play by the rules. His appeal crosses party lines and will resonate. Mark my words, both the parties are scared of Paladino with good reason.

And don’t think the Ground Zero Mosque won’t figure into this. Paladino can make inroads in the city with that issue on the table.
