Carl Paladino moves to within 16 points in poll in New York Gov Race

Carl Paladino is not finished yest in his quest to upset baby Andrew Cuomp, the daddy’s Little boy that hasn’t acomplished anything on his own without the help of his father, former Gov Mario Cuomo.

This lead Andrew has is going to continue to shrink as he’s forced to open his mouth and pretend he a conservative reformer.

New Yorkers are not going to be fooled by that.

The Buffalo News reports that Republican Carl P. Paladino is gaining in his contest for governor against Democratic rival Andrew M. Cuomo, according to a new Rasmussen poll.

The survey of 500 likely voters shows Cuomo leading by 54 to 38 percent and represents a major jump from the same poll's finding in July, when the attorney general's lead over the Buffalo businessman was 58 to 29 percent.

"This is Paladino's best showing yet," according to Rasmussen Reports. "It remains to be seen whether this is a short-lived post-primary bounce or a tightening of the race that Cuomo has dominated for months."

The race remains in the "solid Democrat" category, however, the pollster reported. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points in the poll, which was conducted Thursday.

According to the poll, 59 percent of likely voters view Cuomo favorably, while 35 percent regard him unfavorably. Only 5 percent expressed no opinion.

For Paladino, the poll reports favorables at 46 percent, with unfavorables at 38 percent, with 15 percent expressing no opinion.
Paladino called the poll results "awesome" and predicted that he will close the gap even further in the next week.

All of this seemed to intensify both campaigns, as Paladino reiterated his challenge to Cuomo to engage in a debate, while Cuomo supporters showed the kind of power they can muster when on the attack.

Carl Paladino says Andrew Cuomo Lacks 'Cajones' to Debate Him like a Real Man

As a lifetime New Yorker having lived in this state for 47 years, let me tell you that Andrew Cuomo has done NOTHING in his life of any disinclination other than being born a Cuomo, having been married to a Kennedy for a about a minute, and having been the beneficiary of Democrat crony politics because of his name (former NY Gov Mario Cuomo) when he was appointed HUD under President Bill Clinton.

All Andrew had to do was graduate from law school and his father did all the rest for him with every job or position since then.

He’s not a self-made man.

He is and always has been Daddy’s little boy waiting for his chance to become king.

And the voters of New York would have to be utter idiots to vote this man governor when he represents so much of the failed Democrat policies that have poised this state on the brink of financial ruin.

If a can of paint promised to cut taxes 10% and cut spending 20%, New Yorkers would be much better off voting for the can instead of Andrew “It’s my turn to rule” Cuomo.

But, New Yorkers don’t have to resort to paint fumes to take them out of their misery. They have Carl Paladino on their side.

The New York Post reports that bomb-throwing Buffalo businessman and newly minted GOP gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino began baiting Attorney General Andrew Cuomo today for allegedly lacking the “cajones’’ to face him and other candidates in a public debate.

In a remarkably insulting “Dear Andrew’’ letter sent to the “office of the Democratic Party’’ in Albany, Paladino also directly challenged Cuomo’s manhood and attacked his father, Mario Cuomo, who served three terms as governor from 1983-1994.

“Frankly, I don’t think you have the cojones to face me and the other candidates in a open debate,’’ wrote Paladino, citing Cuomo’s refusal so far to agree to a debate.

“Don't hide behind daddy's coattails even though he pulled strings to advance your career every step of your way. Come out and debate like a man,’’ continued Paladino, who won an upset victory over former Long Island U.S. Rep. Rick Lazio in the GOP primary last week.

“So Andrew, for the first time in your life be a man,’’ he continued.

At one point in the letter Paladino calls Mario Cuomo “a governor who left our state economy in a wreck.”

Cuomo has indicated he’ll debate Paladino and Lazio, who is expected to continue campaigning on the Conservative Party line, but Cuomo's also said that no talks have yet been held with Paladino’s campaign.
Cuomo had no immediate reaction to Paladino’s harsh attack.

It’s time to for Andrew Cuomo to move out from under his daddy’s coattails for once in his life.
