Teabagger kicking Lazio's butt in NY GOP Gov primary

NY Tea Party Pick Palladino Has Big Lead Over Lazio For GOP Guv Nod

by Frank James

New York's Republican primary for governor isn't looking very promising at the moment for former congressman Rick Lazio.

With about 30 percent of the vote in, Carl Palladino, a Buffalo businessman and Tea Party candidate, has a huge lead.

Again, a very small percentage of the vote is in and typically in New York, the vote from the small upstate counties — Palladino's stronghold — comes in before the New York City vote where Lazio would have more support.

According to the Associated Press, Palladino has 68 percent of the vote versus 32 percent for Lazio.

Whoever wins the Republican nomination won't have long to celebrate because he will face a very difficult race against state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the very popular son of the very popular former governor.

With 38 percent reporting, it's Paladino 67 to Lazio 33
