Businessman and former G.O.P. gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino, the most highly visible remaining supporter of Newt Gingrich in New York, says the former speaker's somewhat-suspended campaign plans to make an aggressive push here before the April 24 primary.
"I think he's got a blistering schedule planned," said Paladino, who mentioned events in the Buffalo area and central New York, though he declined to offer specifics. (A campaign spokesperson didn't return an email about the campaign's plans.)
"Unlike these other pussies that are saying, 'Oh, we don't want to have a brokered convention, oh'they're a bunch of pussies, OK? Those are the ones that are the establishment boys that think they're still viable with the people. They're not viable with the people anymore. Those are the control boys. All they're about is keeping the status quo and the status quo is not real anymore for the Republican rank and file nationally."
Paladino said Romney is a "mope," and that his victories were a product of the establishment he ran against.
"I believe that what I'm watching is the Republican establisment, and I'm talking about the big boys putting up a lot of money, so that they can buy the election and push Romney's buttons," he said. "Because I don't think Romney has the intellectual capacity to do it on his own, do the right thing."
On the issues, Paladino praised Gingrich and said Romney was a "chameleon" trying to satisfy the electorate.
"He's so confused on his own issues, he doesn't know if he's coming or going. But he's got the pretty face and he looks presidential, he's not a little roly-poly like Newt Gingrich."

I am reaching out to the people I know in Carls office to find out what is happening. Carl is in Italy right now and I have been texting his assistant.
I know he will be in NYC on the 19th for the Republican dinner, he and Santorum have publicly confirmed. I will try and get something going here in Buffalo.
If there are areas where Newt Gingrich can win but Santorum cannot, Santorum people should be backing Gingrich to deny Romney delegates. It looks like Santorum is focusing on Pennsylvania while Gingrich is focusing on New York, and that looks like a good division of resources.

Newt is also focused on DE and NC, officially, and we are trying to do some grassroots in CT, because it is a small state, as is DE.
