Paladino Says He’ll Drop Out If He...
This is somewhat comforting, especially given his Taxpayer ballot line intiative… but I am more concerned about the tone Paladino has been taking in recent weeks and months. I understand that many on the right are skeptical of Lazio, but Paladino has been nuturing that skepticism, instead of...
I’m Mad as Hell too, Carl…...
But I am not going to vote for you.
No offense, but I can’t join my fellow Western New York Republicans and conservatives in supporting your gubernatorial bid.
Perhaps I’d feel differently if you had a chance of winning. But let’s face it, if you had a chance, I wouldn’t have to write...
Cuomo Support Dips, Lazio Rises...
It wasn’t too long ago I said that Cuomo’s entry to the race would be the prologue to a decline in his support.
It seems like that is happening already.
Support for New York’s top Democrats among independent voters is eroding as voters remain dissatisfied with government in Albany and...
It’s Rick...
Time to unite.
The former Congressman Rick A. Lazio emerged as the Republican Party’s preferred candidate for governor at an often raucous convention in Manhattan on Wednesday, dealing a fatal blow to the efforts of Steve Levy,the Suffolk County executive, to become the nominee of a party he joined...
Cuomo Finally Announces Gubernatorial Bi...
The first thing I’d like to say is “It’s about time.”
Solidly leading all match-ups, the race is his to lose. And, call me crazy, he could still lose it. If you think it’s impossible, just ask Martha Coakley.
The biggest problem for the Republican candidates and for Steve...

The New York gubernatorial race takes another bizarre twist. Andrew Cuomo is still on the bench and Carl Paladino is allegedly going to announce on April 5, but the latest development is that Long Island Democrat Steve Levy is switching parties to run in the GOP primary.

S.E. Cupp: Lazio Is The New Scott Brown...
My friend S.E. Cupp, in her latest column for the New York Daily News, dares to say that the New York governor’s race isn’t merely just waiting for Cuomo to jump in and cruise to an effortless victory.
To fellow jaded New Yorkers who think they’ve heard it all, I humbly offer this:...

By now you have probably figured out that the big bombshell story about Governor Paterson was not much of a bombshell story. It certainly was nothing that would prompt Paterson’s resignation.
Rick Lazio has criticized the New York Times before for letting hype brew about the story without publishing...

There’s no law that everyone has to be equally miserable, although the present Congress might soon address that. Until then, Buffalo is nonetheless going with the flow down the drain instead of floating above the present nationwide depressing standard. G. Scott Thomas from Business First notes...
Rudy To Run For U.S. Senate?...
Nothing confirmed yet (last I heard), so this is probably a trial balloon. That said, I really hope it is true.
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has decided against running for governor, but is strongly considering running for U.S. Senate instead, sources told the Daily News.
