Quoted Text
COLONIE -- "That wasn't easy," Carl Paladino said as he took the podium to accept the state Conservative Party's gubernatorial nomination.
The line elicited a big laugh from the 60-odd delegates assembled Wednesday afternoon at the Holiday Inn Turf on Wolf Road -- including a number of supporters of former Congressman Rick Lazio, who gave up the Conservative line on Monday after winning it overwhelmingly in the Sept. 14 primary.
"I had a great team before I walked in here," Paladino told the crowd, "and now I've got the greatest team."
State Conservative Chairman Michael Long, a Lazio supporter, described the nomination as the end of a combative phase in his relationship with Paladino, a wealthy Buffalo developer whose win in the Republican primary shocked many members of the GOP establishment.
Paladino's win on the Republican line was more than shocking to state Conservatives: It imperiled the party's chances of winning 50,000 votes in the general election, the threshold required to maintain its regular ballot line.
The day before the primary, Long had called Paladino a sure loser in the general election and "a dangerous candidate" for Republicans -- a comment that Long amended slightly Wednesday as he answered press questions with Paladino at his side: The candidate was dangerous, Long said, "to the liberals of this state and to the dysfunction of Albany."

...the bandwagon was going by a littl bit fast but they got on at the last minute, leaving SS behind to the chagrin of the local demoocraps who run it here. The 250 that voted for her have honorary "Obama for president committee" memberships! |

This is shaping up to be an interesting contest.
The only question that I have .. and still haven't been able to find an answer for .. did
Mr. Paladino resolve the issue of having 2 Lt Gubernatorial candidates.
Paladino and Edward will be on the Republican and Conservative lines --- the votes of those
two lines can be added together.
But since Paladino is running with Ognibene on the Taxpayers Party line -- any votes on that
line can not be added to the votes from the Republican and Conservative lines.
Cuomo and his running mate will have the Democratic, Working Families, and Independence
lines .. all of which can be added together. |
