Cuomo throws tea party gauntlet

Andrew Cuomo, betting that he's still running in a very blue state, offers a bit of a challenge to the Republican base:

"There are no places in New York today for Tea Party politics," he said today, per NY1's Josh Robin.

Please contact me if you’re interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.

Fine.

Bring it on, mr. nocojones.

[metmom]

Oh yeah?

Try it.....

Barron himself was not on hand, Robin tells me. Barron petitioned his way into the November gubernatorial election on what he’s calling the Freedom Party line to protest the lack of any candidates of color on the statewide Democratic ticket.

Good. That'll split the dem vote nicely.

If Prince Andrew had any guts, he'd be arranging a debate with Paladino rather than taking on the Tea Party Movement.

Whatta jerk.

[Enchante]

That’s a really ‘extreme’ statement -— what happened to liberal tolerance and love of diversity???

Imagine the uproar if a prominent R. candidate in NY said “there are no places for X politics in New York state” referring to any of a long list of Democrat interest groups?

Cuomo’s message to New York: Scum-suckers of the left unite, you have nothing to lose but your minds and souls!!

[A CA Guy]

Who knows, might take more than one election, but there could be victory in New York.
Like California, they are drowning in government employees, unions and people who get benefits from the government.
The whole thing is on borrowed time, and when reality bites down hard, firing of many government employees and the cut back of many benefits will be forced to take place.

We still have zero signs down state. There is literally nothing in westchester or nyc.

[metmom]

You ought to get hold of his campaign people and rectify that.

Carl NEEDS downstate. If he’s perceived as ignoring them or taking them for granted, that’s really going to hurt him there.

[GlockThe Vote]

I have at least twice.

[metmom]

The Mayor is working with Paladino.

Maybe he can help.....

[GlockThe Vote]

I’m not kidding. The working class italo americans will come out huge for carl but we need something here is lower westchester.

We literally have nothing.

[metmom]

Last I heard, his campaign had run out of signs and more have been ordered.

I believe you’re right about the Italian American vote and he CAN’T afford to neglect or ignore it.

Classic Bob Grant.
