Very early returns show Paladino ahead of Lazio for GOP nod

September 14, 2010


With 6 percent of the state precincts reporting, early returns show Carl Paladino ahead of Rick Lazio in the gubernatorial race with 32,703 votes to Lazio's 11,799. The two are battling it out for November's GOP line.

Lazio is a former U.S. House representative from Suffolk County while Paladino is a Buffalo businessman.

In Dutchess County, with 9 of the 159 precincts reporting, Paladino has a narrower lead with 234 votes to Lazio's 144.

The winner of the Lazio-Paladino primary will face Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Cuomo in November. Cuomo, the current attorney general, has a commanding lead against either Lazio or Paladino, polls have shown.

1. Everybody needs to watch Rachel's segment on him:

Around 3 minutes is when she really gets into the info about him.

[babylonsister]

2. He's a whacko; so is this twerp who won in Delaware, who's giving

her victory speech. :eyes:

Thanks for the link!

6. And they are yelling YES WE CAN!! And, as always, they have the one black guy in the front

so that we won't think it's just another Klan rally. :puke:

[babylonsister]

11. Haha! Who are these guys anyway? Is there a firm to hire people?

:crazy:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. She hired him as attorney. The brother didn't even look like he wanted to be there.

He seemed more apolitical. Cute, but not my cup of tea working for a teabagger.

[Robbins]

5. She did good on him

It won't matter though Andrew Cumoro will beat him.He may well In the teaparty but you need more than them to win a general election.

[Cha]

3. Oh my goodness..paladino is batshit insane..

but so is lazio.

[davidinalameda]

15. No one is as batshit crazy as Paladino

not even Lazio

Palin comes close but Paladino is more evil about it than she is

[Cha]

18. Yeah, I know..he takes

the top batshit award.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

4. My former boss, Andrew Cuomo will kick his ass up and down the street!! n/t

[babylonsister]

9. No way!

Your former boss? :wow:

I find it interesting he hasn't had to campaign, unless he is in NY and I'm not privy to it. I don't even know what he sounds like!

I kind of like that, but I hope he has the NY chutzpa to do it if needed. He seems live a very savvy guy (I don't like his girlfriend; she's skinny, attractive, and can cook :eyes: )

Ha!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

13. Yep. He's the former Secretary of HUD (U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development)

Andy Cuomo does not play! He doesn't even have to campaign. That's how easy it'll be for him... :)

[Arkana]

7. Cuomo will stomp either of them, so it hardly matters.

[HughMoran]

20. Yep

The two Senate races in DE and NH OTOH - big deal.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

8. Another nutbag who will do damage to Republican candidates in general. They're all insane. nt

[KingFlorez]

10. The numbers in the upstate counties are very glaring

Paladino is walloping Lazio by double digits, Paladino was getting 93% in Erie County.

[babylonsister]

12. That's gross! Is he really the lesser of two evils? If I were a rethug,

I think I would have sat this one out.

[Godhumor]

24. Erie County is Buffalo. Paladino is from Buffalo

No surprise here.

[catgirl]

16. Wow. n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

17. It gives me great pleasure to see Lazio lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Historic NY]

19. Lazio = loser...lets see how the pukes like their new toy.

[babylonsister]

21. Paladino wins!!??!

Oh my! How weird is this? Rachel Maddow is live if you are awake.

[BrklynLiberal]

22. Rick Lazio reminds me of Norm Coleman...

[babylonsister]

23. Yes! Both weaselly, both out of contention. I am

:nopity: sad.

:spray:

[BrklynLiberal]

25. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Vinca]

26. Does this mean New York Republicans are "for" beastiality?

Hope the emails get forwarded.
