Please contact me if you’re interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.

New York may emerge as the epicenter of a political earthquake on Nov. 2. This longtime blue-state bystander could elect a Republican governor, dethrone House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and topple the Democratic majority in the US Senate.
Yesterday's unveiling of the GOP "Pledge to America" recalls the "Contract with America" of 1994 -- but 2010 is shaping up to be a larger upheaval.
In the Empire State, the GOP primaries tested the establishment candidates for governor and senator and found them wanting. In their place, primary voters nominated two feisty, scrappy contenders with hearts and souls not far from the Tea Party movement -- Carl Paladino and Joe DioGuardi.
A Rasmussen survey right after the primary gave Cuomo a comfortable 54-38 lead. But Paladino trails by only 49-43 in the Quinnipiac poll and 49-40 in the SurveyUSA poll, both taken in the last few days. (A Siena poll released yesterday shows a 57-24 race -- a finding out of kilter with everything else; it may have oversampled Democrats.)
And, just when Republicans saw reduced chances of picking up a Senate seat in Delaware, comes the news that former Rep. Joe DioGuardi has a great shot at unelected Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. A Rochester Democrat and Chronicle/White Plains Journal News poll released yesterday has him just one point behind her, 45-44, while Quinnipiac has her ahead by only 48-42.

Cuomo is a girlie-man with a Kennedy leash wrapped tight around his neck. Carl should have no trouble with him!
