The debate was sponsored by NY1 and Cablevision, so they cornered the market, with the exception of NPR.

Thanks :) I will read about it after the fact. I like Paladino, it`s a shame the way it`s turning out! I think it boils down to the fact that Paladino is pro life, and liberal NewYorkers Hate pro lifers with a passion.

Pro Life, pro family Christians are hated by liberal Dems. That`s it in the nutshell IMHO

No, it was carried by NY1, but sponsored by Cablevision.

But before the debate aired, NY1 said they have set aside time for a debate that they WILL sponsor, between Paladino AND Cuomo, but neither candidate has responded so far.
