The New York race for Governor has actually gotten quite interesting over the past few weeks. There has been mudslinging, on a literal junior high level on both sides .Andrew Cuomo even called Paladino an asshole yesterday. Most people would find this disgusting, appaling, and downright childish. I am interested, intrigued, and actually laughing at this. Folks this might be the new face of politics in the Tea Party era. The Deleware Senate race will get this ugly soon, both California Senate and Governors races will be heading down this path, and even our own governors race will turn this way when the 527's start unloading on Dayton. Why do I like this? Because it shows how much both people want the seat, they will do ANYTHING to get it, which means they know how important this seat is. Albany has been a mess for years in NY. The only state where corruption is more prevalent than in NY is IL and I think even that might be debateable. Paladino is a fire-breathing tea party candidate, who frankly looks like a Mafia Don but I digress, and while pre-primary polls had him down as much as 55-25 to Cuomo (and yes he is Mario's kid), Monday a Rasmussen Reports poll had Cuomo up 55-38 which raised some eyebrows because Cuomo was expected to be able to waltz into the Governors mansion no problem. But dun-dun-dun! Today a poll was released that has to have the Cuomo camp sweating bullets. From the article... oh and billioniare RINO turned "independent" (aka Democrat lite) NYC mayor Bloomberg came out and endorsed Cuomo today, can you say desperate (interesting note nbcnewyork.com has a thing on the side that asks people their reactions to the article, 55% are laughing, 22% are thrilled and 8% are furious)
Saying anger is not a governing strategy, Mayor Bloomberg Tuesday endorsed Democrat Andrew Cuomo as the best candidate to be New York's next chief executive.
"I think Andrew Cuomo is the right person," Bloomberg said at a press event at City Hall Park.
The endorsement comes as a Quinnipiac poll out Wednesday shows a spike in support for Republican Carl Paladino, who was once a longshot to win the GOP line in the governor's race.
The new poll shows the attorney general ahead of his upstate opponent by a mere six points --49 percent to 43 percent -- indicating a gap much smaller than anticipated. Cuomo leads 87 percent to 8 percent among Democrats while Paladino lures Republicans (83 percent to 13 percent) and independent voters (49 percent to 43 percent). He's also overwhelmingly backed by the Tea Party, although only 18 percent of likely voters in the state consider themselves part of the movement.
Stay tuned folks, were not even done with Act I in this great public play yet.

Stick a plunger up Cuomolectual Bloombugger’s nose to relieve his congestion pricing. Parasite Manhattan residents, like Washington DC and ex-convicts should not be allowed to vote. (Unless they want to vote in Europe.) Require a valid driver license for any employment. Double tax any parasite not working for profit. Build and join rail hubs at Woodside and West Farms to bypass Manhattan. Liberate Long Island City and Brooklyn from over a century of 1898 Tamanend oppression. Move UN, missions, residences to Governor’s Island surrounded by gators. Anyone who shops at Whole Foods must consume at least one of their own organs weekly. Apartment dwellers must consume any vermin found on their premises. Turn Central Park into a smelly green waste processing facility. Brandmerk the forehead of anyone having an abortion. Access in and out of subway stations should only be by firepole. Your islamosympathic gutterswabbing clothing and pierced privates spread disease. If you weren't such baby killing, vermin snuggling perverts you wouldn't be driving up our health costs, then collecting disability for your commie nutty organizing dementia. Your passive aggressive labor unions grab our guns, cars (congestion pricing), balls (SONDA), wallets, and homes but we will grab your throats and dang you from trailer bone tolls. Second Amendment is the ONLY Homeland Security. Wait until we waste all your stumbent subprimes, so you need to sell your affectation glutton art and work instead of diverting tuition and Y2K scams to soviet freezeniks! Deport for multiple visits to same country. If you controlled your own pension neither your boss nor the government could abuse it. Lynch soviet wealth fund abetting aghadhimmic peakies when oil plummets! Parasites complain about salaries but pig out with benefits. Global warming is a grant grubbing extortion racket. Urban sprawl annoys terrorists. Hazards and pollution stem mostly from mandates. Aqua volte! This land wasn't built by bullocraps.
