Flying Pigs Alert!

The gubernatorial campaign of Andrew Cuomo has such a poor credibility problem that even the local New York City CBS affiliate is asking: "Cuomo Caught Lying About Voting for Bloomberg?" And what caused such an aspersion to be cast upon Cuomo's veracity? Check out this video in which Cuomo asserted that he voted for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. However, as the CBS affiliate pointed out, it didn't happen:

But for all his actions as the state’s chief law enforcement officer, Cuomo did have a little problem with telling the truth about his election box support for Mayor Bloomberg.

“Have I voted for the mayor? Yes,” Cuomo said.

Actually, he didn’t. The Cuomo campaign had to issue a clarification, saying he was only registered to vote in New York City in 2005 when he endorsed Democrat Fernando Ferrer.

Andrew Cuomo has such an odious personality that he has even turned off liberals who know him personally. That probably explains why even CBS went after him. Cuomo revulsion overwhelms any political attraction they might have for him. It takes a truly repulsive personality to cause that to happen but Cuomo fits the bill.

I heard on the radio today that Paladino is only 6 points behind Cuomo. Last week it was 16 points. Not a bad week. : )

I guess the "he deserves a shot because it's his turn" problem doesn't only afflict our side.

Using this formula for momentum, if Cuomo loses ten percent per week he should receive about 10% of the final vote on election day.

I can’t wait for Paladinos comments on this latest gaff by Cuomo. Hahahahahaha.

Lat week’s poll was registered voters. This week’s is likely voters. This race is shaping up nicely

Now Koomoe knows how the jihadists in Pakistan feel with Predators flying overhead. You know that the next missile is coming, you just don't know exactly where or when.
