Ignorant comment. So lets just try to win the south and a few other states and hope we get to 270. Your little snide comment about NY values indicates what’s wrong with you and the rest of the Cruz ilk. We should compete in every part of the country, not just some parts. Trump will compete in every part of the country and with every demographic yet it’s not enough for you and others because according to you he’s not sufficiently conservative.

If you weren't such a reactionary you might have taken the time to search this guy before you pummelled him. He ran for Gov against Cuomo. And came really close, which set the dem machine in overdrive. I worked really hard for him. He would make the perfect vp for DT.

         WHAT HE STANDS FOR

Paladino says that he plans to use interpretations of the Constition of the State of New York  to declare a fiscal state of emergency, which he will then use to freeze compensation of state, municipal and school employees and cut the state budget by 10 to 20 percent. He proposes closing off welfare services to those who come from out of state to receive benefits, by placing a minimum residency requirement of one year before anyone can claim state benefits.

He seeks to cut the state's Medicaid budget by nearly 30%, or $20 billion by making significant cuts to benefits, requiring identification, fingerprints and drug testing in order to receive benefits, and training family members to take care of people who would otherwise be in long-term care.

He has also expressed distaste for public servic labor unions,  which he has compared to pigs, and is an outspoken critic of the state's Taylor Law, which gives unions significant negotiating advantages in exchange for prohibiting them from striking. He promises to take a hard line in negotiations with unions, whose contracts expire in April 2011, and will refuse to grant them favorable condition.

He supports current governor David Paterson's efforts to furlough state employees.  In the event of a late budget, he would shut down most levels of government except those related to public health and safety.  Paladino would first target patronage jobs for elimination; i.e., those who received their jobs as political favors and through family connections. He would also rely on the state's rank and file to target persons "incapable for whatever reason of performing their functions at a cost productive level, and hopes to eliminate 60,000 jobs from the state workforce through these reductions. 

He would seek to eliminate numerous perks such as state-owned take-home vehicles. Paladino also supports converting some minimum security prisons into Civilian Conservation Corps -style camps, which he dubs the "Dignity Corps," a program he bases on both the CCC and the work of a local mission in Buffalo.

At the local government level, he would consolidate the operations of most school districts at the county level, with a single appointed superintendent, and also consolidate other local town and village operations at that level. He is currently considering a solution for districts that span multiple counties.

In regard healthcare and the healthcare legislation, which he adamantly opposes, he has stated that he believes that the long-term impact of the act would be just as memorable and possibly more deadly than the September 11 attacks. aladino has pledged himself to one term in office.

With regard to a planned Islamic community center two blocks from the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City, in late July, 2010, Paladino came out with a radio ad which stated, "As Governor, I will use the power of eminent domain to stop this mosque and make the site a war memorial instead of a monument to those who attacked our country.  more

Yet every cycle before thus we keep hearing that we need to expand the base to win. As soon as someone does that, you shout, “Oh but not THOSE people.” LOL.

Carl Celian Icahn (born February 16, 1936) is an American investor, business magnate, and philanthropist. He is the founder and majority shareholder of Icahn Enterprises, a diversified conglomerate holding company based in New York City, formerly known as American Real Estate Partners. He is also Chairman of Federal-Mogul, an American developer, manufacturer and supplier of powertrain components and vehicle safety products.

Icahn is right that GDP growth, which was just 0.5% in the first quarter, was pretty lackluster. And corporate profits in the first quarter look weak, but not quite as bad as people expected. What’s more, the stock market is back to its relatively high price-to-earnings ratio of 18 times next year’s earnings.

On occasion, Icahn’s Herbalife exchanges have all the earmarks of being a piece of a wait-and-see game with Bill Ackman, a very rich person multifaceted investments supervisor who broadly made a billion-dollar wager against the estimation of Herbalife. At the point when Ackman blamed Icahn for endeavoring to offer some portion of his stake a year ago, Icahn went out to purchase all the more, uncovering his bigger position on an indistinguishable day from Ackman’s TV appearance. With short enthusiasm for the organization habitually besting 40% of the general population drift, short merchants anxious to take benefits may think that its hard to find the essential shares to cover, given outsize possessions by expansive institutional speculators and submitted shareholders like Carl Icahn.

Carl Icahn Predictions:
The Stock Market Is in a Bubble
Herbalife Will Survive
The Apple Era Is Over
