RE: The guy’s an embarrassment.
Is that your main reason as to why he does not deserve to be governor?
Which is more important, the RIGHT POLICIES, or STYLE?
This isn't a matter of "style." Brusque, no-nonsense GOP politicians are quite electable in NY - to wit, Rudy Giuliani and Al D'Amato.
The problem is that Paladino claims to be no-nonsense - but then all he gives is nonsense.
Why is he comparing his personal life to Cuomo's personal life? No one in New York state cares.
Why is he taking a strong stance on homosexuality, then backpedaling, then taking a strong stance again? What kind of resolve or character does that show?
If he was the "no frills, all business" candidate his campaign claims he is, why has he continually involved himself in petty squabbling unrelated to the three core policy issues in New York: jobs, taxes and graft?
He could have won this thing, but he has thrown it away - and he has thrown it away by not being what he claimed to be.
NY and CA....3rd worlders.
And the evil heartland will have to bail them both out next year.
