Politics: Carl Paladino headed towards huge loss in NY governor’s race

  • 37% Andrew Cuomo’s lead over Carl Paladino in the polls source
  • » Sorry, they didn’t check: Sadly, we don’t know how many people are voting for “The Rent is Too Damn High” party candidate Jimmy McMillan. We wonder if he’ll siphon votes from Paladino.

Politics: Last night’s New York gubernatorial debate? Circus.

  • I’m with Jimmy. The rent is too damn high.
  • New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo • FInding common ground with fellow candidate Jimmy McMillan of The Rent is Too Damn High Party during last night’s debate in New York. The debate was notable for one reason – all of the candidates were there. The New York Times buried this farce on page A21 of the paper. They should’ve blown it out if you ask us. source

Politics, U.S.: Carl Paladino likes to hug it out

  • The vast majority of people in Buffalo know what it’s like to be hugged by Carl, even those who don’t want it.
  • Carl Paladino’s campaign manager • In an frank admission to the New York Times. Paladino is quickly becoming known for his “grandfatherly species of full-body bear hug,” during which hugees often “find themselves lifted off the ground.” His campaign jokingly refers to his robust hugs as “the mind meld.”  source
. Resistance, where it exists, is futile: Mr. Paladino is so enthusiastic a hugger that huggees will occasionally find themselves lifted off the ground.

Politics: Did Carl Paladino actually utter this anti-homosexuality phrase?

  • There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual.
  • New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino (possibly) • In prepared remarks from a speech he made to an Orthodox Jewish group. Problem is, he didn’t say them, which he’s using as a leverage point against the media. Now, granted, he did say that he doesn’t want children “to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option … it isn’t.” And he tried to defend himself, partly by mentioning his relationship with his gay nephew in a statement after the speech. Wow, he stepped in it, didn’t he? source

Politics: Carl Paladino likes to get into shouting matches with NY Post editors

  • Carl Paladino is like the most entertaining shot in the arm for New York politics in a long time. Not that it wasn’t boring before – have you seen David Paterson? – but you just get the feeling that if this dude actually becomes the state’s governor, he’s going to have an encounter like this every single week. This video also looks like it could’ve been shot anytime in the last 30 years. Fred Decker, the NY Post’s state editor, is just a warm-up act. source
