The thing that I do not understand is why the state of New York is immune from the wave of voter dissatisfaction that has swept the nation as personified by the Tea Party. It's not as though New York is in good fiscal condition (it isn't), or that we aren't losing jobs and people (we are). Yet, we appear to be poised to elect a man who has a philosophy indictical to his father. A philopophy that has got New York State in the wretched condition it now finds itself.

When Mario Cuomo was governor we had the worst of all worlds. High taxes, high deficits, crumbling roads and schools. I could see the logic of high taxes and no deficits. I could see the logic of high taxes and deficits if the bridges weren't collapsing and the schools were good. But I never got the logic of the Cuomo trifecta. And I don't know why the state wants to continue that tradition.

... I mean it’s not just Cuomo. Schummer and especially his puppet Gillibrand should have been ripe for challenge this year.

I live here. Between govt employees, their families, welfare cases, illegals, liberal jews, etc, there simply are not enough GOP votes to make a difference.

I am with you 100% on that! The WILL BE a republican tide in NY too.

That is why I feel Paladino is the MUCH STRONGER candidate.

No one will be excited for Lozer Lazio. Sienna poll has him losing to Cuomo by 45 percent!

Paladino is exciting and has actual ideas. Cut NEW spending by 20% the first year (!!!!)

I would vote for anyone who had that as their ONLY issue.

Half the population is getting some kind of social services so they do not want to rock the boat. The only cut Albany made was to a program that helped home owners with the high property taxes.. and God knows it is not the working that keep the liberals in office..
