States that McCall is part of the problem!

[Clara Lou]

The Democrats couldn't buy him off. What do you think of that?

[Dog]

OK.....thanks for clearing that up...

[SamAdams76]

Apparently Golisano is staying in the race.

[YaYa123]

I'm thrilled, but how do you know? I can't find news of it anywhere. I know he had booked time on CNN for 6:30, but I must have missed it somehow.

States that McCall and the current administration are part of the problem is New York State. So much for backing McCall!

Finally found a news source :

Golisano Aide Says He's Staying in Governor's Race

11/3/02 - New York) -- A top aide to B. Thomas Golisano says the billionaire is staying in the governor's race. The word from campaign strategist Erick Mullen comes even as Golisano is urging voters to stay tuned for an announcement this evening on his future. Golisano says he's bought time on New York's WNBC and WABC and CNN at 6:28 pm to make the announcement. He was pressed in a debate yesterday to answer clearly whether he was planning on leaving the race. And he said only: "I am a candidate for governor of this state." All this comes as a new poll shows Governor Pataki with a 16-point lead over Democrat H. Carl McCall. The poll by Newsday and cable news channel New York One has Pataki at 43%, McCall at 27% and Golisano at 16%. The random telephone poll of 1,052 likely voters was conducted this past Monday through Friday and has a sampling margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

what a farce, turns out to be nothing more than self promotion...

though i would like to see Gilasano finishes second and McCall finishes third...

what a disaster the ny dems have become...

nyc goes republican (ok, even for rinos) for three terms -

now ny state goes republican for the third term as well, when was the last time a rep. holds 3 straight terms...

if i were mccall, i wont get on any planes, or even trains now - you know, strange things can happen...ever thought of billy never let-go clinton run for gov. for ny as a mccall replacement...it's not too late - still 24 hrs to go...

now the question becomes is 2006...i bet pataki wont run there - who will be next - if i were a republican in that state, i wont mind to have gilasano running in the conservative ticket, that will really hit the dems hard in that state...

2006 will be an interesting yr for ny - hillary's second term for the senate, prelude for her 2008 run?...2006 - ny gov....

[concerned about politics]

I know Clinton was suppose to meet with him in NY last week.
I figured Clinton would offer him Arkansaside unless he cooperated.
I thought by Monday, Golisano's announcement would be that he quits and backs McCall.
Democrats are desperate in NY. They have no money, just the Clintons.
Galisano was for tax cuts, less waste, and non-affermative action, smaller government..... The only reason he'd back a Democrat is because he's been threatened with "Vince Foster Disease."

[solo gringo]

Not only is McCall a loser he is stupid with it.To depend on the Clintons and then say he would stay with the Commiecrat party.The Clintons has already chewed this stupido up and spit him out.
