I have to disagree with this one, Paladino was on local Fox NY last week in the morning and the morning achor (Roseann Scotto) would not let him bring up the issues, she went after him totally on the NY Post and the gay comments.

Oh, I know that. But that's exactly what a some of us predicted, the day after Paladino opened his trap.

He simply gave them something to work with -- on his own initiative, and on a topic that had nothing to do with the campaign.

Once he did that, there was no way they were going to let him leave that topic, and get back to the real issues.

I will say Paladino needs to stop letting these so called “news people” dictate the conversation.

He can't not let them dictate it. Paladino isn't the one with the cameras and broadcast infrastructure, and he doesn't buy ink by the barrel. Like it or not, people still get their information from the "news people."

The truth is that Carl Paladino screwed the pooch with his comments on homosexuality, and his advisors helped him to do it. Just to give Carl a break, we'll stipulate that it was a girl pooch.

This thread has been pretty enlightening so far.

I've never encountered a group of people who were so enthusiastic about losing a previously winnable election.

Paladino has tried to talk about the issues, but they just won’t let him. They are doing a total hit job on him.
If I were him I would ignore the questions and get right into all of the troubles NY and the US are facing- I would also belittle the news people and say “with NY State going bankrupt, you want to talk about some comments I made weeks ago ?”
