Taxpayers party

It appears the Paladino people  have obtained enough signatures to create a “Taxpayers” party line ensuring that one way or another Carl Paladino will be on the November ballot.  Right now I don’t believe Paladino has enough support to take the GOP line from Rick Lazio, but Lazio has nowhere to go but down.  People do not like him and his support among the GOP has been faltering.  I can see him losing next month.

Getting back to the “Taxpayers” ticket:

“… The line, known as the “Taxpayers” party, is aimed at ending the supremacy of the venerable Conservative Party, which has been a must-have line for any successful statewide Republican in New York for decades … [Michael] Long dismissed Paladino’s campaign aimed at ending the party’s influence. “I think that’s a very sad commentary on a person if he really believes in the future of New York,” he said. “The Conservative Party is not an overnight party. We’ve been around 48 years.” …”

Knocking out the CP would be a blessing.  They have long (pun intended) since abandoned principles, especially on the Second Amendment.  That isn’t sitting well with all CP members as Erie Co. chairman Ralph Lorgio is challenging Lazio for that line too, although he does not have the money Paladino has at his disposal.

  1. I have never seen a candidate get so much hate from the main-stream media as Paladino. There are at least one or two hit pieces on him every day over at Capitol Confidential.

  2. Paladino is not politically correct nor is he a professional politician so he brings some of it upon himself.

    He is also making more noise than Lazio. I have heard his radio ads out of Albany and seen some campaign roadsigns.
